It's not ageism to say that young people need their fair representation in politics. The median age of America is about 40. The median age of Congress is about 60. There is a very real concern that our leaders may not truly grasp or fully understand the issues of the younger generation.
Not to mention the risk of death and health related issues is convergent with age. It can't be avoided, no matter how much people want to pretend it shouldn't be considered. 70+ is pushing it, 80+ is well beyond average male life expectancy. To hide behind "that's ageism" when anyone brings it up as valid concerns is to ignore the facts.
