So, I'm seeing OPs here already about replacing older leaders

in 2024. Notably California Senator Dianne Feinstein and President Biden. I guess we're starting on the 2024 election already. Notable in those OPs is reference to those office-holders' ages. Isn't that interesting?

Ageism raises its ugly head once again, and we start talking about putting our senior politicians out to pasture quite some time before their current terms in office are over.

I would remind those already thinking about throwing elected officials out due to their age in 2024 that we have an election this year, in 2022. Perhaps we would be better served by discussing offices that are up for election in just a few short months before we go off on the oldsters who won't be running until 2024. Perhaps.

In the end, though, only those voting in the states represented by Senators and House members get to choose who represents them. For everyone else, such decisions are none of their business, to be quite frank.

In 2024, should Trump run,  MM will join the 'Trump is too old' chorus without giving it a second thought.

I'd put money on it.

DiFi, Pelosi, and Biden are all clearly suffering some sort of age related condition. - They aren't going to be able to serve much longer and should be replaced, this has nothing to do with 'ageism' .. But you know what, DUmbo ? If you want to make these folks the poster children of your party, all power to you.

Maybe you guys should change your party slogan - I have a suggestion -"Democrats, the party of...something.. you know. the thing."

1. Do you really not know how the Senate and House work?

Did you really think that the elections of Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock were not any of the "business" of anyone not in Georgia?

Were DUers not in Georgia that donated to their campaigns wrong to do so?

Yes, actually. If you don't live in Georgia you should STFU and any money donated from another should be illegal. JMFO. It happens on BOTH sides. It needs to f'n change.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

MM's word salad points to exactly what's wrong, cradle to grave politicians.
“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

        -- Marcus Tullius Cicero, 55 BC (106-43 BC)

I am one of those who believe in term limits for all congress critters. 2 6-year terms for Senators and 3 4-year terms for Representatives. Representing the people should not be a career because times and culture change and as we've seen since 2000, culture changes fast.

IIRC, that can be done at the state level, correct?  No need to ask the career politicians to cap their own jobs, ask their employers (the constituents for you lurkers, the people they represent for lurkers from Rio Linda)

I'm no lawyer and don't pretend to be one in podcasts, but since the terms of Reps and Senators are defined by the USC, it would probably take a constitutional amendment to limit the number of terms a US Rep or Senator could serve.
