    No, we literally need to enforce a retirement age on elected offices. You can’t run once you hit retirement age.

      Nah.

      Could not disagree more. The generational warfare stuff is such bullshit.

      Most especially as people are living longer and longer. We need people that have a longer view in there for sure. Older people - with the right amount of empathy and insight - have a lot to offer, especially if they have kids and grandkids. Pushing people out prematurely is rather stupid, if you ask me.

      I’d be okay with lowering the age requirements for certain offices - at least where most people have a fully-developed PFC, anyway. In addition, there would be a huge benefit if more effort was put into raising up more leaders within the party, etc. More of a pipeline and more handoffs so there is not some big disconnect, but more of a continuity.

        Then tell the Boomers that. They’ve been waging it for decades now.
