Can we just get all these oldies out no matter what party that are in? We should have a law where you have to retire at whatever the youngest public retirement age is.
Or they should just do a cognitive and physical test every half a year once they are past the retirement age. Bernie Sanders is 81 and still has a sharp mind and his mindset isn’t stuck in the 50’s.
They’ll all pay a doctor to lie, so we need harder limits
Have an independent board do it so their Doctor can't lie for them.
It's not fool proof but it's better than having people with obvious dementia writing laws and bills.
To be fair he’s had the same mindset since the 50’s as well, it was just a progressive mindset that we still haven’t caught up to as a society
His mindset is stuck in the 60s, but whether or not that’s a good thing is a different debate.
What does this mean?
It is a joke. OC said Bernie wasn't stuck in the 50s, and I'm arguing that he's still a 60s hippie. No sense of humor around here.
I think I'd like to see mandatory retirement age be whatever the average life expectancy is. If they want to have a shot at staying in office longer, they'll have to make the health care system better.
You say that like they have to use the same healthcare as the peasants. Spoiler alert: they don't.
The idea is that they can’t work longer than the peasants live, so if they want to stay in power they have to help the peasants get better healthcare

Definitely misread that, thanks for clarifying.
