minus-squareMegaUltraChicken@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·5 months agoI think you’re on to something. We can probably solve most of the problems Biden has in the public discourse by giving him some cocaine.
minus-squaresleenlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12arrow-down1·5 months agoCorrect, it’s about competency. Age is not indicative of one’s competency, just a mere suggestion - no matter if the person is young or old.
minus-squareCaptainSpaceman@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·5 months agoYeah, its a dumb barrier in 2024. Lots of 20somethings would be better than biden or trump. Ultimately, the DNC and RNC exist to stifle options, so until the 2 party system has a replacement theres little hope for real change anyways.
minus-squarepositiveWHAT@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 months agoThe 2 party system rests on the one seat FPTP election system. So you’d need a complete renewal.

minus-squareMnemnosyne@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 months agoPersonally I’d be in favor of making it an age maximum. Let’s have a Logan’s Run rule for government. And I say this with complete seriousness, and as someone who is already ineligible under the rule I propose.
