… 40’s are middle aged adults.
“Young” is 18-19, maybe mid 20’s.
Stop infantilizing entire generations of grown-ass adults
You want 18 year old politicians? Come on man
Who cares? It doesn’t matter that “18 years olds are on the battlefield”.
Knife cuts both ways. I know 90 years olds more cognizant than some 20 year olds.
I don’t want either of them leading a nation
Yeah? I never mentioned warfare, those were other commenters.
The knife cuts both ways, but only one way is constitutionally sanctioned. Funny how that works.
Because the majority of 35 and under don’t have the experience in life or law or professionalism to hold an elder statesman position? They can still be elected to the house of reps to earn that experience. Or hold state offices.
AOC is 34. She was 30 when she was elected. Should she not have been allowed to hold the office she holds?
AOC is in the House of Representatives, so yes, she can hold that office.
But that's higher office?
Professionalism-> experience in a professional environment.
But the fact you’ve stooped to insults tells me you have no actual argument, so that’s nice
Very angry, I suggest logging off the internet if you’re enraged simply because somebody has an opinion that 50 years of age isn’t old.
Still responding? Better quit before you have a heart attack
I never said my age, but I’m 28.
You obviously care, otherwise you’d focus your energy elsewhere.
Yet here you are, commenting on a days old post and being mad.
