We need an age cap on politicians. I’m sick of these old fucks screwing everything up and dying in a cushy job.

Get the fuck out and let new young people who haven’t had their soul destroyed yet do something.

I assume that Democrats can decide who is allowed to call themselves a "Democrat". So just make a rule that nobody is allowed to run in an election where they will be 70+ years old on the day of taking office.
