And unfortunately they are back in power now in the US. Prime example IMHO. Both Trump and Clinton were like giving the AARP the reigns. Now it's like the old boy's club is having one last run at managing our country. After the 40-something Obama from 2008 it really feels like a step backwards. Wise? How far has these people's thinking evolved from their 30's or 40's? How "wise" was our country back then?
It's morbid to say it but I have no reservations in admitting that I(and I'll throw out there most others I know) am looking forward to these people "moving on".
And by "moving on" I mean dying and getting out of the way.
- Arizhel 10y agoThe thing is, if you don't like the old people and they way they govern, you're free to not elect them. They're only "in the way" because stupid voters elect them. On top of that, we had an extremely progressive candidate running; his name was "Bernie", and he was older than both Hillary and Donald. He was far more progressive than "young" Obama, and he was also very popular with the youngest voters. You don't have to be young to be popular with young people, and think in idealistic ways like younger people. I don't want to see these people die of old age; I'd rather keep great old people like Bernie around. If the people of our country are so stupid that they keep electing people like Hillary and Trump and rejecting people like Bernie, then they deserve that kind of governance.
