minus-squareCaptainSpaceman@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up65·5 months agoIDC how old they, I care how competent they are. Theres plenty of incompetent middle aged and young people as well, letstry not to elect any of them, k?
minus-squareMyOneEyedWilly@real.lemmy.fanlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·5 months agoExactly this, I’d rather someone near me drive their car at 65mph, than drive next to someone who’s a cocaine addict going over 85mph on the freeway.
minus-squareMegaUltraChicken@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·5 months agoI think you’re on to something. We can probably solve most of the problems Biden has in the public discourse by giving him some cocaine.
minus-squaresleen@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·5 months agoCorrect, it’s about competency. Age is not indicative of one’s competency, just a mere suggestion - no matter if the person is young or old.
minus-squareFah_Q@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·5 months agoSo your in favor of removing the 35 yo age minimum?
minus-squareCaptainSpaceman@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·5 months agoYeah, its a dumb barrier in 2024. Lots of 20somethings would be better than biden or trump. Ultimately, the DNC and RNC exist to stifle options, so until the 2 party system has a replacement theres little hope for real change anyways.
minus-squarepositiveWHAT@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 months agoThe 2 party system rests on the one seat FPTP election system. So you’d need a complete renewal.
minus-squarepositiveWHAT@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 months agoIn fact, this would probably be the best year to third party with an election reform party?
minus-squareMnemnosyne@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 months agoPersonally I’d be in favor of making it an age maximum. Let’s have a Logan’s Run rule for government. And I say this with complete seriousness, and as someone who is already ineligible under the rule I propose.
