Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is poised to raise gobs of money and potentially overthrow the old guard of the Democratic Party.
Ya my mom can barely grasp what’s going on right now. No concept of the future beyond her life. I’m pushing 40 and got no idea what the kids want or need or how our education system got so fucked. we really can’t be having geriatrics making policy that will affect the future beyond their immediate life
Yea i don’t really mind the SCOTUS issue. That goes away with the two party issue, politicized judges with zero integrity is a failure of congress. I like that judges hold benches and get lifetimes of experience and wisdom. I like the old age and prudence rule in courts. Congress ya, 70 is probably getting to old. There’s no reason to throw them out of the party, but they do not need to be holding seats when we need to be constantly generating new politicians. They all became so obsessed with their own power they forget they will eventually die with no one to carry their torch. There needs to be a better transition of leadership, as well as coherent leadership. People of all ages should be represented in congress similar to how we are in public. If the boomers are 30% of the population they shouldn’t be holding more than 30% of the seats. Fair equitable representation.

I would support a cutoff for president at say 60 when starting office, that would keep us below 70 for a two-termer. That’s plenty old enough.
Also the 18 year rolling term limit idea for SCOTUS.
