Just a reminder that the President is 78, the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate (2nd and 3rd in line for the presidency) are both 81, and this is the oldest Senate in history of this country with an average age around 65.
All else being equal people vote for candidates like them and older people turn out to vote at a much higher rate than young people. If you want you representatives to actually understand the world they are tasked with leading or want them to at least have consider how their decisions will personally affect them a decade in the future, you need to vote and convince your peers to vote. It is especially important to vote in primaries due to the US's two party system.
