    Because it’s not worth arguing about. If someone thinks that being 60 in elected office is worse than being right wing, that doesn’t even rise to the level of ridiculous.

    Edit: switched words around by accident

      Bernie Sanders (as an example) is over 60 and doesn’t have the stance you mentioned earlier. Despite all the doom and gloom you see on the news, there are definitely older people fighting the good fight. I do wish politicians would shift down in age a bit but telling someone they should be killed for their opinion isn’t being a better person than those you’re fighting against.

      Edit: I see your edit but my point is still that wishing death on people you disagree with ain’t the way

        Bernie Sanders is another workaholic. He clearly doesn’t have a personal goal of “retirement”. He doesn’t share that value. The overwhelming majority of his position is great, but his personal attitude toward work is not.

        When you fill the legislative chamberwith workaholics, you should not be surprised when you get workaholic legislation.
