Maybe they should stop platforming these geriatric fucks and make space for the next generation then.
At a certain age, people stop working. And at an even more advanced age, people stop driving. It obviously shows that even the sharpest of minds age. So why the hell are people allowed to work until they literally expire. We need age limits for the government. I'm sick of old people so far removed from today's culture making rules based on Jim Crow era guidelines. Our last two presidents have been barely functional, dementia-riddled puppets AT BEST.

Trying to sneak in the Nazi propaganda right there at the end huh?
I was confused, because Obama wasn't dementia riddled.....then I remembered Biden existed.
Thats how forgetable his term was.
With the notable exception of Obama, every US President since 1993 has been born in the 1940s. Thats over 3 decades with presidents born at almost the same time (most in the same year).
Yeah, but Clinton took office 30+ years ago. Bush took office 25+ years ago.
I get that they're old today, but that would be like 20 years from now saying Obama is too old to be president. Which 20 years from now WOULD be true, except that his term was 2009-2017.
Biden and trump? Yeah, I fully get why they're too old.
Yeah, but Clinton took office 30+ years ago
And is a little over a month YOUNGER than the dementia riddled fascist currently infesting the office.
What's been keeping them in office the last couple decades was a corrupt DNC that would blackball individuals/companies that worked to challenge incumbents, even going so far to bankrupt whole state parties to punish reps who didn't toe the party line
That's over, it's been over. Current DNC has been dumping that money that was hoarded back to state parties, so they can't use it as a club later.
And Martin ran Minnesota for a decade, he's never endorsed a candidate before the primary, never put fingers on the scales, and the result was the state going from purple to progressive insanely quickly.
Some state parties are still shitty, but these coming elections are the best chance we've had since the 90s to get new blood in.
No matter what happens, we need to get people to vote in upcoming Dem primaries
So, I want to make sure I am informed and involved. What is the best source of information for democratic primary candidates, and where can I verify how and when I can vote?
Primaries don’t mean shit when the DNC puts their thumbs on the scale to make sure candidates like Bernie lose the nomination. The problem is at least in part the DNC itself

I think you missed that...

The problem is you think 2016 DNC has anything to do with 2026 DNC...
Acting like it does, just makes everyone aware of your ignorance of our political system.
I'd try explaining it, but we saw how well that went last time
The problem is you think 2016 DNC has anything to do with 2026 DNC...
The 2016 DNC is the same as the 2020 DNC and the 2024 DNC. If you think the DNC has changed because one guy got moved into a new role, you'll need to back that up with actual receipts not just empty rhetoric and future promises.
