Warren led the 2020 Democratic primary early on. In her book, the Post said, she repeats a conversation with her husband, Bruce Mann, who said: “Babe, you could actually do this. You could be president.” Warren also writes about she imagined her inauguration.

    I'm all for older people occupying any role they wish, but the USA's Gerontocracy makes the Soviets circa 1980 look like a bunch of Molotov wielding Maoist Zoomers

      How to insist on mandatory retirement from leadership positions once you reach the age of 65 without sounding ageist?

        we have minimum age requirements for lots of stuff, maximum age limits seems like common sense

        but under liberal subjectivity it's too terrifying to confront inevitable physical decline so we let dementia patients be president

        "For the good of everyone, I have to insist on mandatory retirement at 65."

        Also, "ageism" against oligarchs and royalty is like "racism" against white people. Making someone collect a generous pension and spend time with their grandkids after decades of being in power is pretty different than firing a greeter at Wal-Mart making $9 an hour so you can replace them with someone making $7.25 an hour.

        In the German Federal Constitutional Court judges are forced to retire at age 68, meanwhile our Supreme Court just a few years ago probably had a mean age of 68 lol

        Feels like term limits - not even short ones, just like, “hey you can't be in Congress more than 20 years” - would be fine here. Doesn’t discriminate against the elderly but stops the same oligarchs from running everything for 50 years.
