In what world is mid 30s young? I’d rather have a political cabinet of people who have to live with the consequences of their decisions, than a hundred variants of Holden Bloodfeast.
In the world of “our median audience member is 67”.
Just a bunch of young 30 year olds. You know, the age greater than most of our founding fathers.
Hey let me think I’m young for at least a few more years!
I do think mid 30s is a great age for getting into politics though. They still have decades left to live with the consequences of their decisions, but they also have a bit more experience with how the world works than idealistic 18 year olds.
Ideally they should also exit politics in less than a century, but I guess we’ll see how that plays out.
I’d say mid 30s is perfect, enough real world experience to hopefully be a decent person, enough time left to have ambition for something.
It’s certainly good news to me that some elderly politically-actives have been very much in favor of younger politicians. They’ve been very happy to have me around in phone banks, and wish for more candidates around my age.
Hindenburgs.
Privileged lefty radicals, huh? I thought it was poor people being lefties because they want handouts. Choose one boogeyman lol
It’s part of the fascist agenda. Your opponent is both too weak and too strong
Ah, like Russia is supposed to be.
Outing them as persons with empathy.
TAKES A REAL GHOUL TO CARE ABOUT THE WELLBEING OF OTHERS. - MAGA
There’s 36-year-olds in the tech industry having difficulty finding work because they’re perceived as too old.
Meanwhile we’ve got a succession of Presidents who are well above retirement age and people act like that’s how things should be.

they are seen as too old because they probably have self-respect and experience. rather than being young eager sychophants that fresh college grads tend to be
Also, young, inexperienced people are easier to mold into those sycophants they want. At 36, they’re more likely to take a step back and say “wait a minute”.
We’ve voted celebrities in government positions with NO experience. Enough said.
Fucking trump and then Reagan was a cenile celibrity puppet
Reagan was a 2nd rate actor who was most famous for playing 2nd banana to a literal chimpanzee.
But… Reagan was involved in politics for a long time before he became president. Even before he was governor of California he had his hands in some political roles before he gave up acting.
A vote for Zohran is a vote for anarchy!
Meanwhile having a 19 year old called Big Balls ransacked the data of an entire nation for personal gain and assault workers doing essential work is no biggie.
Well the federal government is full of reality and fake news stars with no government experience. How bad could it be at the local level of it “works” on the federal level.
I’m already decided, NYT, you don’t have to sell it to me.
The Post is even more conservative than the Times
Isn’t it pure uncut Murdoch?
Ew, and yes
Isn’t he circumcision?
As mentioned, this is the Murdoch tabloid “… Post”, not the far better “… Times”.
“Times” has turned into an absolute rag at this point too
Still far better than the NY Compost but yeah, the NYT is absolutely atrocious.
Especially when it comes to any coverage of cops and their favorite fascist apartheid regime.
How is Rupert still alive? Does hell not want him back?
Satan: nah fuck that guy, he makes me look like Santa Clause
“Look at these young 30 year old babies” says the skeleton clinging to his senate desk for a second millennia
I was gonna say, I’m near the top end of these ages. Glad I’m considered young again…
🤟🏻yolo
I’ve been saying for years we need older people running the government.
God forbid the people governing are young enough to actually be affected by the long term outcomes of their policies. Almost like they have a reason to care.
Certainly wouldn’t want that
I see so much support for Zohran in the MSM, they keep posting his Ws.
Political outsiders! Isn’t that what the right wanted? Drain the swamp!
Zero dollars received from AIPAC? These youngsters have no idea how politics work!
Drain the swamp!
They meant minorities.
They were so caught up in finding outsiders, they forgot to check for swamp dwellers.
But the 17 year olds with billionaire daddies running doge are fine.
Why is US politics so elitist? In the Nordics, our democracy is intended to allow for anyone to run for a political position. Government for the people, by the people?
How can you possibly enshrine the rights of unbridled capitalism and ensure endless extortion if you let the poors and minorities participate? Think about the profits damn it! How will the share holders survive?!?!!! For the people by the people? Don’t make me anxious. For the markets by the rich white land owning men. * sighs in American relief and comfort *
Because US politics was created to serve wealthy slave owners, and not much has changed since.
Oligarchy
The people holding the seats are doing everything in their power to keep them. On both sides.
Money.
