I think there's something to be said for wisdom of the elders. Maybe split the difference and say no one can be in office after 60 but you can still vote. Gets new ideas injected into the running while still tempering them with the wisdom of people who have a lifetime of mistakes to compare said new ideas against.
No, because that's how you have a massive amount of old people voting for their own benefits that they force young people to pay for. The game is rigged by the old before the young even vote.
The gambit here is that they can't do that because the people holding office are too young to propose such policies because it doesn't serve their interests. You get the 40 year old proposing stuff that's varying degrees of good for the future of his burgeoning family and the old folks have to pick among the selection of policies that are aiming to better the situation of their kids and grandkids but not them. That's the ideal I'd like to see.
Women, out of politics. Foreigners, out of politics. Dual citizens, out of politics. Minorities, out of politics.
Also, if I was President, and anyone tried to manipulate me with appeals to God and His saving me...I'd primary the shit out of them.
Manipulatives little fucking shits.
Using God for political ends is incredibly gross. Makes me queasy.
Old people, out of politics. You should lose your right to vote at like age 50 or 60.
