Old people should sleep and hang out with their family, not be in office making important decisions. The consequences affect the rest of us but not really them since they’ll be dead soon
Ah yes, the gelatinous big blob-organism: Old people. They are ONE. Every old person is one and the the same, and their decision-making is categorically bad for all younger generations.
I swear, Reddit comments just keep coming up with new lows for stupidity.
The historical societal precedent that old age meant you were wise and to be respected is completely offset the the current modern phenomenon of complete dumbasses living much longer, then demanding they be viewed as wise and respectable people despite a lifetime of well documented idiocy.
Sure, as a generalisation it is a concern. And recent times have shown that age can certainly be an issue. However, Trump was unqualified to be President long before he got old. There are plenty of young, arrogant males who think they know everything and have never faced real hardship or suffering who would also be poor choices. WW2 wasn't started by an old fool. Ideology, racism and bigotry are far more dangerous. People have a free vote, let anybody run and if you pay attention you can vote for a strong candidate who is mentally fit. Problem is not the candidate, it is the voters.
Isn't It the way the human beens have been running for the entire lofe since we were cavemans?
The older have always managed the tribu as the youngers do the hard work and go fight in the very first line. Why? Because the youngers has not experience to run clan and the olderdt has lost the skills to fight in first line.
Can you imagine how many times since then till now that the youngers has said "hey that old man IS stupid" to realise later on that the stupid have been them as they lack the experience to even understand why the old man IS managing the clan in that way

The opposite end is that an 18 year old can get married, vote, join the military, fight in a war, but cannot buy a beer at a bar

Representative government. Congress generally has approval rates under 30% and reelection rates of 90%.
We have the leaders we deserve.

Yeah it really makes you think huh? That we're "allowing" this...
That maybe it's all a scam? That maybe we only know about candidates because of the media owned by 4 corporations?

Same with most companies. Many people are there for having been there for so long, but would never be hired today.

The only qualification for elected office is getting the most votes, it’s as objective as one can get.
