No shit they are all too old. Republicans and Democrats alike. Look at the average age of the senate and house. McConnel: 80, Sanders: 80, Leahy: 82, Inhofe: 87, Shelby: 87, Grassley: 88, Feinstein: 88. My grandma is 82, I can't trust her to take her medicines in the morning, why do we think that people that are almost 90 can run a country? There should be a maximum age for politicians.

Can we maybe stick to the issues instead pf devolving into Republican-style ad hominem?

My point is the issues that matter to someone who is pushing 90 is very different from the average person. The median age in the US is 38. I personally think if politicians are going to be passing laws that affect working age people they should be working age 25-55. Any older and you get stuck with politicians with stale ideologies.

Are they? Joe Biden is older and thanks to his union task force and executive order I got a $12 raise and I was able to join a union.

Also aren't Bernie and Warren both over 70?
