    I agree, but their argument is that by not allowing people of that age, that demographic then loses their representation in government.

      Maybe, and it’s hard to give up something you have than it is to block something. The restriction that you have to be at least 35 is basically the exact same thing.

      The real issue is that someone with Aimee skin in the game, rather than someone just looking forward to retirement is way harder for the string outlets to control.
