Biden has not been as bad as I expected him to be, but he is out of touch with the average American. Politicians need mandatory retirements. We need someone under the age of 65. But I'll take him over the convicted felon.
I'll take him over any republican. He's been fine, but we could do better. We could also do much worse.
I'd take a leftist of any age over a 35 year old centrist.
Mood.
Ah yes, ageism.
There's nobody over 65 who is a good political leader. Nobody under 65 is a bad political leader. Everyone immediately turns into a useless chump on their 65th birthday. They should all be puréed into a drink to sustain the rest of us.
it's not ageism to expect care for the future from people who are going to expect to see it. we've already seen that boomers could care less what happens after they're gone, as long as they absolutely ruin whatever they can in the mean time.
A 34-year-old can't become president, if that is not ageism in the first place, I don't know what is. But fine, if you are lucid and nimble enough to survive and win a presidential campaign, I guess you're good for 4 years of constant stress and travel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidents_of_the_United_States_by_age
That seems a bit excessive.
I don't think it's ageist to believe that someone who represents this country should be able to accurately understand that wants and needs of the average American. At a certain point someone becomes too old to understand the average American, they rely on their own personal experiences which may be out of date.
That's just wasteful, you need to scrap them first so you can extract the valuable metals from their medical implants. Then you butcher them for any good meat. Then you puree the rest (apart from the brain due to prions) to feed to children.
You can’t be a good president if you’re over 65.
You can’t be a good president if you’re under 65.
You can’t be a good president.
