This is absurd.
I want to know why they keep voting for this woman who's clearly not well enough to carry out the responsibilities of the job.

We seriously need some age restrictions for our political positions.

I don't want to see a single person over the age of 70 serving as POTUS or in a senate or representative seat. That goes for U.S. and state.

Why are people dumb? Great question. Could also be that the party system sort of limits your options. Sure their are primaries but most of these people are bumped up by the party.

Plus old people vote at a very high rate compared to young people.

Is she less competent than someone like Fetterman, though? He can barely utter a coherent sentence.

Nobody cares because he votes the way they want. That is his job as far as the party is concerned.

I mean if you're incompetent you're incompetent. Once you fall below that threshold you shouldn't be able to hold office. Old or from a stroke or some other mental disease. It just makes no sense to have people like that hold office.

That power must be some good shit if these people are willing to be wheeled in slobbering and 75% dead.

If public office was an actual service to the people of this country, none of these politicians would do the job until they physically and mentally can’t.

If people nearing retirement age are regularly phased out of their jobs because they’re too old, what in the fuck are we doing having them run the country?

Texas and Nebraska passed bans on the transgender surgeries, hormones and puberty blockers. Now the Governors of Texas, Nebraska and Missouri have such legislation waiting for them to sign. Think that would bring the total of states that have either restricted or banned it up to 19 (though Alabama's is currently blocked in court).

If they don’t mandate age, every damn member of Congress should have a clear medical record. How that traumatic brain injury guy from PA can be allowed to serve is insane too.

Couldn't agree more. I don't know that the dude would be found competent to stand trial. How the hell can he hold office?
