        every adult has a percent chance every four weeks of devolving back to mush and after 65 that percent chance is just too high

            I’m sorry the topic confuses you but yes, this is why your 14 year old can’t have a driver’s license even if they might be a perfectly good driver.

                Risk of them becoming unable to execute the duties of the office is a main factor. It’s ok to discriminate against adults for the qualities of a high risk of developing age-related degenerative disorders over the course of their tenure.

                This isn’t that hard to understand. Your line of reasoning is pointless.

                A bunch of people are living in the delusional reality of an old person and it’s pushing us close to civil war for no good reason beyond boomer mass dementia. You have failed to understand the present crisis, so you fail to comprehend the necessity for this simple preventative measure.

                No more people over 65 in federal politics. Ever.

                    Age isn’t the only risk factor I care about, it’s just the only age factor I care about discussing with you.

                    Age limits are de facto term limits. If you want to make it 60 I’m willing to hear it.
