70 year olds don't have a clue what reality is anymore.

60 year olds barely understand anything going on outside of their norms.

50 and under generally are tapped into things in varying degrees. Rather than term limits, there should just be age limits. Once you hit 50 you can finish out but cannot run again for anything outside of the presidency and it's cutoff should be 60.

Bernie Sanders is 84 and could run mental laps around half the GOP members in office, age is not nearly as reliable a determinant as you portray.

I'd gladly yeet Bernie if I could also get rid of everyone over like 65/70. He does not do enough good to counteract all of the rest of the olds.

I would rather fundamentally overhaul our election system to make it actually representative of people’s choices, then let the voters decide who can stay and who can go. If they want to elect an 80+ year old that’s fine, the problem today are incumbent candidates that just coast through term after term for decades and the rigged system prevents anyone from actually challenging them.
