Idk how the fuck I can agree with a politician so much.
Every time people fixate on age limits i think of how Bernie spent the last decade running circles around everyone in Congress on actual sensible good policies for Americans.
people age at different rates, but age limits seem like an easy answer to the complicated problem of removing someone from office when they show signs of being unfit. People like when it’s easy, but it doesn’t solve the actual problem. Someone with early onset dementia or some other illness that means they can’t effectively do their job is just as hard to remove. While preventing someone who’ll stay sharp until they die at 90 from doing a job they’re still capable of.
I wonder if there’s a way to make it easier without making it too easy and able to be manipulated by bad actors.
It just really sucks that he’s pretty much the only one.
It’s “funny” in a way that I never actually knew who he was prior to 2016, but once he ran for president I saw him and said “oh shit it’s that guy!” I had seen him in countless documentaries where there was a segment on how the government interacted with the subject of the documentary and he was ALWAYS on the “right” side of the subject.
That’s when I knew he’d never be allowed to be president.
