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

    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?

    What a weird take

    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.

  And his time in office ended about 9 years ago, so 55 at the time.

    Friend, it’s a shower thought. Not a deep philosophical discussion.

      Shower is the perfect place to think about deep philosophical topics
