everyone who says politicians are too old need to remember how many shitty right wing 30 year olds there are.

Yeah like both Trump and Biden won in big competitive primaries with a lot of candidates younger than them. I think part of the reason we have so many old politicians is that young candidates feel more like positively asserting the future of their party, and nobody really likes the futures they’re asserting. Without that vision, the status quo wins out by default.

But dont the 30 year old shitters pale in comparison to their 30 year old left wing opposition?

I would gladly embrace shitty young ones over old ones. At least the younger ones are thinking about the future.

Really? You’d rather have, say, Steven Miller than Trump?
Brkdncr@lemmy.world 4 days ago
It’s not like Trump is some mastermind coming up with all these ideas on his own, and Miller isn’t likable enough to get elected.

But Trump gives me Stephen Miller. Whereas on the other hand I don’t think Steve Miller comes with Trump attached. Nor is he capable of actually winning anything.
