Right. Because you cherry-picked the examples, then you're using that to wave away proportions. I'm saying, expand the sample size and you'll see that in general having ancient farts in high offices should be the exception, not the norm. If a correlation is strong enough, the connecting middle is kind of irrelevant for the purposes of the lower standard of justifying a bias.
Even Bernie, who years ago inspired hope in so many with his rhetoric, has all but given up, hearing him talk now many see a fire that's extinguishing. He doesn't have the energy to fight against the status quo within his own party anymore. A younger Bernie did.
As voting citizens, we don't give enough chances to younger politicians, when honestly we should be demanding it of the political parties to allow new blood to breathe life and ideas into their party, and provide us with more options.
Didn't realize that was the standard for a hot take. There's lots of universally accepted bs whose unmasking would only draw gasps at a meeting with management. And even then, the surprise would mainly be at the balls of the person saying it, not at some reality being shattered.
Do we have a squid racing team in the Fediverse? Be cooler if we did.
