Exactly this, I’d rather someone near me drive their car at 65mph, than drive next to someone who’s a cocaine addict going over 85mph on the freeway.

I 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.

Correct, 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.

Yeah, 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.

The 2 party system rests on the one seat FPTP election system. So you’d need a complete renewal.

Personally 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.
