Age limits, please. Retire already..

I don’t think putting age limits on public officials would fix the underlying problems with US politics, the fact that he can keep winning despite his incompetence and policy being anathema to the interest of his voters suggest much larger issues in the news and voting systems.

Even if we banned everyone over the age of 70 from being a legislator, we’d just have younger fecal stains getting elected by the same broken systems and pushing the same bad policy.

I agree. Age barely tackles the problems. With this Mitch event, I’m reminded of the Feinstein thing from earlier this year.
