This age discrimination is a clever right wing ploy to remove Bernie from office and to hurt Biden’s re-election. And I can tell from the responses here and in real life that it’s working.
There are plenty of people on the right who are willing to stooge exactly like McConnell does, but highly principled lifelong public servants with almost no skeletons in their closet like Bernie are pretty much impossible to replace.
In any matchup against Biden, besides Trump, age favours the GOP. In a matchup between Trump and Biden, they are both the same age, but since the media has been using Biden’s stutter and unflattering video cuts to make him look senile, it still favours Trump.
Ultimately people need to stop voting for bad people, especially ones have already proven that they do a bad job, regardless of their age.
This is overthinking things. Old people do a bad job, this is obvious if you look at the last seven years of politics. Don’t muddle the issue so we can fix one goddamn thing.
And gen z is lazy. Does that help anything?
gen z didn’t elect a russian asset to public office and then try to burn down the country with a fascist insurgency. wake up.
Neither did I. I’ve been aware of and concerned about the greenhouse effect since the early 70s. I was part of the first Earth Day. I was around and active for a number of anti-monopolistic decisions.
It’s not ones age, race or economics that determine our ideals. It’s our ideals. You want to alienate our allies. You are pushing a hidden agenda or you are a tool of those doing so. I am awake. You are a member of a cult.
And none of that will save you from your generation’s failure. You failed and you’re leaving a broken country to your offspring. Don’t make that my problem. 65 year olds shouldn’t be in office and that’s the end of it.
If that hurts your feelings? good. It should. You should have to face your failure, and vote for age restrictions on people in office.
Your leadership didn’t work. You led us here.
This is incoherent old person rambling.
Keep believing that it is your age that makes you good. That’s all you have.
That’s nonsense. But if it’s all I have, maybe it’s all you left us. The burning need to make sure the old people get out of office immediately.
You can demean it if that’s all your old person flailing can do, but you can’t shake that burning need.
When I was young I blamed previous generations too.
At least you will can rely on Matt Gaetz, Ron Desantos, Elon Musk to always do the right thing.

No one does…
Bernie himself says he’s too old, and his entire purpose is to build up the next generation.
It’s just Bernie is the one example people have to try and get people to be against this.
There’s a shit ton of elderly conservatives and moderates in office, but there’s only one elderly progressive. So that’s why people immediately throw him out there.
Generational generalizations are an effective way of dividing the populous.
