Yeah, I figure the ragebait over having 20-somethings demand that politicians all just retire if they are over some arbitrary age (regardless of their position on, you know, the issues. Or their efficacy or anything like that, no, we need magical “term limits” and/or some age limit jammed down our throats instead of actually letting voters decide) was not enough to fling into the “national conversation”; the authors of this article and their outlet needed to involve everyone else in the ageist ragebait.
This is indeed eye-poppingly stupid, but I think the people they quoted have no idea what the age range of Gen Y even is. Also, maybe they do, but people very young often think anyone older than about 30 is “old”, so…shrug?
So why term limits on the president? Let voters decide. There should be term limits for senators but surprise they voted that down when they voted for the presidential term limits.
What do you imagine term limits would do for senators?
It’s not working all that well for Presidents, BTW. Given how popular Obama and Clinton both were, they might have had 3rd, 4th or even more terms instead of shitstains like W and donnie.
