Not all Republicans are old.

Billionaires are ruining it. Don't let the NYT shift the blame.

Does NY Times want to distract us from having class solidarity?

No. Voter apathy, arrogance and virtue signalling transcends age and gender.

They have you focused on old people so you are distracted from the fact that capitalism is the problem

Yes.

We need to set limits for the age of our politicians. These people are too old and frail to lead.

One day they’re cheating the stock market with insider trading and the next they’re falling down and getting gravely injured.

Or they disappear into a nursing home because of their advanced dementia, or they just turn the capitol into their nursing home, like Feinstein.

Or they’re taking up space on some panel despite their aggressive cancer diagnosis, only to die and delay government hearings.

No war but class war, brother

That’s a funny way to spell “sociopathic rich bastards”

Nah. It's capitalism and social engineering by the powers that be. That shit is divisive as fuck. The old will be dead soon enough, but that 1% at the top bullshit has gone on for a very long time already. Decades, generations.

We don't get a choice

As long as what you want is what the economic elites want, it happens.

The correlative factor between what the regular people want and what ends up happening is 0.05. elites are 0.78. business interests are 0.48

If you want to see change become an oligarch, and if not join a business lobbyist group. If you can't do either you're SOL.

It's not about age, it's about corruption. Old politicians have had more time to make deals, forge alliances, and prove themselves useful to money.

One way to mitigate this is term limits for Congress. Force them out before they can do too much damage, before they can entrench themselves, and gain the support of some billionaire. Less reason to throw millions at a candidate if they'll be gone in eight years.

Old people are ruining democracy everywhere.

They created a system to ensure they have comfortable pensions and now our lives are getting more expensive and more difficult because we have to fund their retirement plans and that's why they refuse to step down because they know they are screwed if we take control and start prioritising OUR generation and future generations so shit like this never happens again, wishful thinking... we're fucked either way...

The problem is really simple to solve.

Politicians represent old people because old people vote. Young people always want to break the system and make a new one, but old people know how to use the existing system to get what they want. .

Young people have all the power they need to be heard, but they just don't take it. They think voting changes nothing, but they don't realize it changes everything.

If young people voted, politicians would be forced to take their issues seriously.

The generation that was raised on prioritizing short term solutions because the constant threat of nuclear war made any long term planning seem hopeless is ruining the USA???

It's been ruined for a long time, big money interests has always had a stranglehold on it. That tends to be older people sure but not all of them are beyond 30 either.

Money is, for sure.

No, the low IQ wing nuts who make up at least 50% of the population who allow people like Trump to become president. They literally ruin anything good we could have a society 😒

They are ruining it, man... Any day now, it will be ruined... Not exactly right now probably, but maybe soon likely... This is a thing that may going to happen probably definitely.

Consider this a warning... Of a probability... Maybe... Eventually... In theory... I don't know... Could be.
