    Having younger people being bribed vs. older people and having term limits on those younger people is supposedly going to accomplish something, but I’m not really sure what.

    age has nothing to do with being bribed. that’s a distraction.

    As for wisdom, age has little to do with that, too.

    do you really want me to list all the fucking stupid, unwise, and vile policies being pushed by mostly-old-people, who’ve stopped giving a fuck about their legacy because they already got theirs and pulled the ladder up?

    Edit: Again: the only functional difference is that you think it’s appropriate to shit on younger people. That’s it. Every medical justification you use to do so… can be applied to anyone over 30, and especially anyone over 60. Any justification about “experience” can be ignored since most of that doesn’t even apply to the modern world.

    You act as if they would suddenly lose representation. Which is not true any more than anyone under 30 is not already represented.

    There is no legitimate argument you can make that justifies one but not the other. None.
