We need age and term limits to get these fossils out of office. I feel as though they're not capable of properly representing their electorate

    Exactly. What do 80+ year olds know about the needs of modern kids, teenagers, and young adults? Hell, many of them probably still think rent is like $50/month.

    That’s not even the biggest concern; they’re not at all invested in the future because they’re not a part of it. Why would they care about any of the consequences the choices/actions they make now that we’ll be dealing with 20 years from now?
