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.
once again… that’s not what I’m saying. Stop putting words in my mouth. Stop running off tangents. I am saying that it’s possible to be too old in the same way that it’s possible to be too young… and that the individuals in question are not “young” at all, and acting like they’re young is a problem.
majority of all Americans don’t have the qualifications you list. Should we amend the constitution to only allow lawyers to run things? Or perhaps we should just create a political caste and call it good?
it’s not the amount of experience that matters. It’s the quality and relevance. When you’re sole requirement is quantity of experience, you wind up with old farts whose majority of experience predate the modern world. (More than 3/4’s of Biden’s life has been without modern social media. More than half without the WWW.)
there are other qualities that also matter- like having a new idea. Biden has been part of the government for longer than I’ve been alive. Our govnernment has stagnated with people like him and Feinstein and McConnel in control. In every organization, leadership reaches a plateau where it’s difficult to grow past. You need new leadership- new ideas to leave that plateau.
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.

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.
