    Term limits are a must. Political office was never meant to be a career. Im 60 and really I didn't start voting consistently until my 40s.

      Hell No! Every Politician should be subject to stand for reelection. If Politicians are in office too long, it's the voters fault for not doing their job. I am against all term limits - even the one on the President.

      And they should be paid the average middle class income for their state. maximum of 12 years term. A 10 year moratorium on them migrating to a company or Board of Trustee's for companies with government contracts. Be required to release a full medical and financial history before taking office. I would say limiting them from lobbying, but lobbying should be turned into a jailable crime at this point And that is just the start.

    The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if older politicians are put forward to the presidency and steered into position, because they are more reliant on background staff, so are more easily manipulated by the real policy makers behind the scenes. I know it's probably a ridiculous notion, but seeing the fall of Biden has opened my eyes on the subject.

    • @91GT347
      @91GT347 23 дня назад

      Trust me. It's absolutely not ridiculous. Do you know what the chances are of a politician winning every election 20 or more, times in a row would be ? As fast as society changes. It's very highly unlikely. Then you top it off with those that do stay that long, don't do anything for their states. They are always working on federal issues. Then how many there are, and they are always establishment politicians. Never someone moderate. The only way we ever get a president chosen mostly by the people, is when it's an unexpected landslide in both elections. Usually the only difference in the two running normally, is what they advertise and what breadcrumbs we get to give the appearance, they're different. Party is almost irrelevant at the federal level. It's how they keep the balance.

    While they may not be helping "the country" they are helping "the party". Just think of the party as the modern day aristocracy and it becomes more comprehensible.
    I was stationed overseas with a guy and we were roommates in an apartment. After deployment, he ran for office and spent 2 terms in the state legislature.
    He was a middle of the road independent... in private, but his public political platform was fundamentalist religious conservative. Because that was the slot the party needed him to fill, and it worked.

    I would say that the median age of a politician should be 45 years old because it's time for the older people who are in DC need to retire and let new blood have a chance to get make a difference and age is a factor it's not just Democrats who are being chroniclly Geriatric it's Republicans as it time for the older people to go play shuffleboard in Florida

    Retiring is dying.. After you've established yourself and has success, you are free to be more altruistic in your actions and fight for your grandchildren rather than to eat today. Notice I didn't say after living and working in government for decades. I actually feel older people are an asset in leading, but career politicians are a leach to society. We were supposed to be represented by business men, doctors, scientists, farmers.. etc. People with life experience who would then go back home and live under the policies that they passed, or take up politics after they had finished doing what they needed to do and were there to create a legacy and a better future.

    Because the less wisdom you have the less i trust you and youth lacks that entirely. Its only earned with time and decades of life experience and first hand witness (and personal responsibility. Like running a larger company or performing 3000 brain surgeries, maintaining standing and relationships long term, etc, etc).
    It requires time. There is no substitute. Sorry kids, but unlike an iPhone in terms of hardware, you are the same hardware, in human terms thus “new” means “lacking” (you are not an update or an upgrade, not in the slightest. No, it’s more like your update new out of the box is going to take literally infinity to get all of the updates everyone before you has already patiently downloaded).

      Your comment is verbal sewage; Age DOES NOT directly equate to expertise and knowledge... Now do I want some 20 somethings running stuff? No! However I also don't want geriatrics who have DONE NOTHING in 40+ years of holding a seat running things either. Also your attempt at a dig/comparison of the youth and "iphone updates" tells so much about you. You haven't achieved half of the things you wanted to do, youve worked very hard but haven't ever gotten to where you thought you'd be; So you console yourself by inflating your self-ego with the "I'm older therefore, I'm smarter and wiser". Just remember it's those "OLD AND WISE" that put us in the mess we're in...

      The problem is that they may not care about the harm they do if they will not suffer the consequences of it due to age. The current national debt will not effect the people who spent and stole the money. It will however drastically effect the current youth. There is a reason why Gen Z has given up in large scale. They do not see a future where they are not slaves to the debt caused by our current boomer politicians. I am glad i am getting old myself because hard times ahead has been guaranteed. In full disclosure I am neither a democrat or republican because one will call you their enemy and try to stab you in the chest, while the other one will call you friend and stab you in the back. Either way you will always end up the one who suffers for their bad management.

    The main issue with this whole situation is: you elect “celebrities”, leaders, not the list of goals they should achieve in their time. As you lived in Spain a lot you should know that in every country in the EU we have multiple parties in the parliament, never just two and we vote for the party not for some leader, that’s even more important in the counties that you can consider successful, Denmark, Germany, Finland, etc. and the election campaign is very short, a few weeks at max. They are talking about the programs mostly. It’s very bad politics when it comes to attack each other like these two.
    Not to mention that amount of money they spend on the election… that’s just insane. It could be considered bringing. Here the party can get an amount of money for campaign depends on size, not even possible to get funds over it. The prime minister is elected from the most successful party via the parliament. Period. Still there are multiple parties in play to achieve goals. (Block them.) And a person like Trump who literally used the billionaire white man card to avoid jail? It’s not an option here. Only the most corrupt people would see him as a candidate. That’s not a question of age. A year long slender in media is not election campaigning it’s the Kardashian’s from tax payers money.
    As for older politicians? They are needed but not for the cost of younger. In USA it’s a fact that the older generation can’t see any modern solutions especially not from other countries. Plus all are paid by companies. They don’t represent anyone. It’s a career for them to sit there. Literally they don’t care. It’s a business. As per usual. So it’s not good. Younger politicians tend to represent causes strong. They are the ones who can make real differences.

      It's 35 for a President, 30 for a Senator and 25 for a Representative. Frankly, I don't want anyone too young because they are young and inexperience and that is not always a good thing. Especially when it comes to running a country.
