Age discrimination
I think 70 is a fair age for these politicians to hang it up. But better than that we need term limits for all politicians and Supreme Court justices.
It might not be good politics, but don't tell me every damn human hasn't already thought it before they're 40.
So true! The founders only lived until the age of 40 and 50. They didn't envision congress living until 80 yrs old.
Term and age limits are a good idea. Joe Cunningham was a horrible representative for my district. He will be a poor choice for governor. He would have gone right along with the covid lock downs Washington tried to mandate upon us. McMaster was bad enough on this regard. I could not imagine Cunningham in charge during the same situation.
Voting IS our term limits. WE THE PEOPLE must be engaged in our government and the candidates all the way up and down the ballot.
New ideas come from new candidates with fresh ideas. When it comes to current administration, the "other 48% bitch about the young with fresh ideas and the aged in office. Although he makes some good points (gerrymandering, redistricting, etc.), Democrats in SC., you can do better.
I am a senior, and I couldn’t agree more with what this guy is saying!
Power hungry young parasite attacks leadership based on age . Gotcha .
Amen brother.
…I have held this thought for many years, we need fresh new blood in politics, I'm 67…the current representation does not actually speak for me, I've spoken with the next generation and the future generation and they see things in s more clearer light.
The age card? Funny how it's the elderly & those that have been in power for decades that seem to have a problem with it!!
Agree. 12 years limit for congress or senate.
They need younger brains out there, and he’s not writing off anyone, he’s not saying you’re to old, he’s saying if you’re that old “should” you be in charge of everyone’s interests
Absolutely 100% correct, these ancient politicians are out of touch with current society, current technologies, current everything. I don't want to be ageist about this but I feel there should be age limits. Some ppl are just there too dam long, ppl le Strom Thurman. That racist relic like a gazillion years old and served under Jackson in the war of 1812. No we need new fresh ideas and the. We need them to move on.
Term limits for congress the senate and the scotus, also separation of church and state now and forever.
Yes, Grow up and graduate from your college Fraternity, and do not bring beer to work you broke Federal Law
The most obvious observation ever.
Go Joe👍. A politician speaks sense shocker🫣. The snouts are in the trough far too long and it’s a gravy train these old fuckers don’t want to get off.
Hell yea get rid of these old archaic politician's
Go Joe goooo hell.yea fet rid of these old school government
No DUH….
I'm 75 years old and agree with completely. Too many of these men are out of touch with reality. They need others to handle 21st century technology. They are trying to govern as was the case 100 years ago. The idea of isolation didn't work then and it certainly won't work now. The economic policies of the republican party are similar to those employed in the 1870's. Comments posted here and other platforms reveal peoples' lack of understanding of our Constirurion, government and economic system a prime example would be their lack of understanding of socialism. They are willing to accept whatever they are fed.
57 here and he is absolutely correct.
💯💯💯💯(and I am 59 🤓!)
This is why america is so far behind they have an old way of thinking.These old geezers have layed down on the benifits they bought out the Bezos and Kochs these billionaires are having a field day with these puppets.When you are in one position for so long and someone disturbs you it becomes personal they are not there for the people its for themselves.Just look at Manchin,McConnell,Pelosi its all personal.
I agree 100%. Also nations should consider the sage advice of Thomas Jefferson who encouraged that constitutions should be revamped periodically. In a 1789 letter to James Madison he stated, "Every constitution naturally expires at the end of 19 years." He further explained, "because the earth belongs to the living, and not the dead."
Its not about age; its about competency.
I don't care that Biden is almost 80. But he struggles to get through a sentence.
Joey Cunningham is just a tool.
I totally disagree. Learning how government works takes a long time to be effective and really get things done. Everyone has ideas and opinions but the current crop of civil servant wannabes can’t spell, don’t know history, and believe they’re qualified because they own a restaurant or have been a newscaster. Maybe changes need to be made but this needs more thought about the positives that are brought by people who can hit the ground running.
So, yeah tell Moscow Mitch to take his turtle looking ass home!!!!!🤔🤔🤔😐😐😐😐
You had Strom Thurmond too!!!!
Sounds like this guy is looking for attention.
Does nobody else follow Jordan peterson…he stated this 2 weeks before this dip shit
It's about term limits as a disincentive for our current state of government, that has become for self interest's legislaters, a bed haven for special interests & corporate rule, it's even more important that our elected officials have, integrity, especially since this segment didn't even addressed that part about, oligarchy..follow the money..🌝🎩💰💰💰💰🎯
yes- yes and again yes!
He Is 100% correct
Younger boomer here. I agree!
A acquaintance asked me for a political slogan for his 2020 yard sign. I suggested “Vote for the old, white guy”, that pretty much sums up the 2020 presidential election. My presidential vote was a write in.
Yes, take those old foggies out of office, and get new blood in.
Yes get the old people out
Age limits should be 35-65, then we will have real representation for workers and families.
I’m sorry, but he’s right. If we live long enough we all reach the age where it’s time to retire, but not politicians?
I'm for whoever's got a moral compass and brains. To say any group( young or old )is all of the same mentality is just as bad as racism. This guy, unfortunately, is a disrespectful moron.
Hay quá
This would exclude FDR.
