Too fucking bad.. boo hoo.. Time for the fossils to GO!

(And I'm a 'boomer myself, and can't stand how out of touch and backwards looking most of my generation is.. GTFO you old coots! FFS buy some beer and rent a boat and go fishing and do something worthwhile with what time you have left!)

Older Dems: we want younger people to be more engaged in politics, the more younger people that vote, the better we do.

The population: we want younger people to be Democrats instead of old people.

Older Dems: when we said we wanted younger people, we didn't mean like that.

Then GTFO

Term limits and age limits plz

Also kill Citizens United thx

Green and Menefee will go to a runoff in May. Green swatted away questions about the age factor on Wednesday, declaring, "I am generational change."

Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and say when you find yourself paraphrasing mother fucking Emperor Palpatine it's time to stop being a senator

Maybe they should go away, then

Older Dem here, eagerly waiting generational change. Bring in AOC, bring in Bernie, bring in the Squad, I can't wait!

The various generations are sick of hearing from older Democrats.

I want to retire some day. I want my representatives to share that value. If you're going to be above the social security retirement age at the start of a term in a political office, you are not qualified to that office. I'll support finishing out a term you have already started, but I am done voting for people who think it is important they work themselves into the fucking grave.

oh no the old fucks are "gearing up to push back" whatever will we do against their strongly worded letters

They sure do bug me for money a lot for people who don't like my opinion

I’ve always wanted the age of government office to be tied to the average age of stroke/heart attack in your state. Your ass is out at that age unless you can bring that number up through comprehensive healthcare reform.

Edit: bring the age up. My brain is mush.

Do you just hit an age where you stop being able to comprehend you're out of touch? Is that going to happen to all of us? I feel out of touch all the time already and I'm nowhere near the Congressional average...

"you're going to deal with my generation until until we die, and we gave Congress and the house Medicare for ourselves so we can be around until we die of something incurable."

Cool, older Dems!

We're sick of you still being alive, please do something good for once in your lives and fucking die.

They were even listening?

And those are the ones where generational change would be most important.

Wait’ll they learn first hand about nurse-to-patient ratios and turnover at hospitals and nursing homes

Waaaaaaasmbulance had been dispatched to the DNC

Nothing is going to change democratically at this point

I think it's orchestrated, myself.

It seems nihilistic and doesn't seem to have any real aim other than further dividing Democrats. There is nothing inherently good or bad about someone's age (well, unless they haven't fully developed the PFC - there is a reason there are age requirements at the lower end) when you are trying to determine if they are fit to lead.

Now, if people were to propose using more advanced screening techniques to catch things like Alzheimer's or other problematic things (I'd be a fan of trying to screen out various traits that lead to really bad leadership, myself, but obviously implementation would have many problems and of course many detractors), that might make more sense. But no, we are listening to what sounds like petulant teenagers having tirades about older people and it's rather boring. All of us were 14 once, but most of us evolved since then. The idea that you are only going to have representation from people who are in your "generation" is an incredibly silly and narcissistic one.

Lastly I keep saying this, but: this particular period of time is really not going to age very well if life extension and other breakthroughs come online.
