    I don’t want age limits because that’s ableist. I want term limits. That’s an entirely different thing and this poll is intended to receive/manufacture consent.

      This kind of idpol idiocy is dogmatic. It’s not ableist to keep babies from holding office and old people degenerate into babies. It’s not hard to understand.

          it’s absolutely an inherent quality of being old. no not every 66 year old is unfit to fly a plane. but airlines don’t let them fly. that’s the way it is and that’s the way it should be. stop whining about discrimination.

              the plane is broken. some 1 in 4 of our countrymen believe a fascist lie. and you’re still bickering over whether or not the senility of the pilots was a factor?

              try this rather than handwaving over the airline decision: explain to me how a generation which fought the cold war ended up electing an obvious russian asset into its highest office without concluding that their politics has gone rancid in their old age.
