They will tell you that they understand politics. That they understand what the American People need.
This is nonsense.
You can't send a geriatric to fix a problem caused by geriatric politicians.
The solution is simple, they just don't like it. They just don't want to hear it.
Everyone over a certain age
and we might reasonably disagree as to what that age is
must be removed from politics.
Wrong-criteria.
As the elderly Richard Feynman proved, truth can be saved by geriatrics.
It isn't age which makes people unfit-for-authority: it is DarkTriad/DarkTetrad { narcissism, machiavellianism, sociopathy-psychopathy, sadism }, & if you WON'T filter-out to prevent psychopaths like Putin & Netanyahu having power, but you pretend that age is what the only filter ought be, then you aren't competent to decide who's got the right to have power.
Sorry to be blunt, but humankind's working-on earning a whole-species-wide DarwinAward, right now, & after the tippingpoint is crossed, it'll be all-hands contributing to that work.
Which is solving the wrong fucking problem.
& all it'd take is making systems-questions be settled as systems-questions, preventing DarkTriad/DarkTetrad types from having authority-over-others, & getting issues solved outside of political-wrestling's "dominion".
Sometimes the oldest around are the wisest people around.
Ignoring that, in order to have an ideologically-convenient oversimplification, doesn't make humankind more likely to survive this Great Filter century ( the next 6-ish decades decide it ).
You'd remove Bernie Sanders from the US Congress!
Idiocy.
Solving the wrong problem.
Sorry to be blunt, but the more people won't right-frame this, the more percentage of humankind who dies, in the next 6 decades of wars.
& that isn't OK.
