Over 75% of voters want maximum age limit for elected officials, poll shows
Over three-fourths of Americans think there should be a maximum age limit for elected officials, according to a CBS News/YouGov survey.
You're viewing a single thread.
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 not an inherent quality of being old. You can't discriminate against a whole category of people because some of them aren't fit for office.
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.
If it doesn't apply to everyone it's not an inherent quality. Why is it okay to discriminate against one person for the qualities of another?
The airline rule used to be age 60 which wasn't based on medical evidence. The data actually showed older pilots are just as capable as their younger counterparts. When we raised it to 65 that new limit wasn't based on data either. We realized older pilots are just as capable and chose a new, slightly higher, arbitrary number
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.

send your 14 year old to the store for some smokes and then we'll talk
Why is it okay to discriminate against one person for the qualities of another? We're talking about adults here
every adult has a percent chance every four weeks of devolving back to mush and after 65 that percent chance is just too high
We already have lower limits, why not upper limits?
