Le sigh. It’s not like younger people are not susceptible to the problems of being captured by the donor class.
JFC, focusing on age is one of the dumbest fucking takes going. I get it if people take issue with certain individuals that happen to be older, but drawing some arbitrary line at number of times around the sun and saying “boomer bad” is just idiotic.
I cannot help but think that this is some kind of psyop.
I mean I’m not going to disagree that a blanket all old must go all young must stay approach. Obviously trading Bernie Sanders for Rick Santorum would not be a good move.
That being said what does need to be dealt with is incumbancy bias as a whole. IE no matter how shitty they’ve been, the effect is over and over again keep the same guy regardless of how good or bad he is until he chooses to retire or drops dead.
The approach should be “replace the people who haven’t been looking out for their people”.
I dunno, dementia-riddled old fuck’s is not my first choice to run the country. Being bought by donors is bad, but it’s a different problem. Just cause we need to fix one problem, doesn’t mean we should ignore all the other problems.

And that’s ignoring the tankie wankers in the thread who can’t shut up.
November will be a ride.
