dazzlingclitgameOlder Dems are sick of hearing about "generational change"
RivalarrivalThe various generations are sick of hearing from older Democrats.
I want to retire some day. I want my representatives to share that value. If you’re going to be above the social security retirement age at the start of a term in a political office, you are not qualified to that office. I’ll support finishing out a term you have already started, but I am done voting for people who think it is important they work themselves into the fucking grave.
That’s easy, Congress will just raise the retirement age. The oligarchy wants that age raised anyway.
Let the old candidates argue that the retirement age needs to rise, while the young candidates argue that it needs to be lowered. Watch what happens when AARP voters start supporting candidates who actually want to retire, instead of these goddamn workaholic fossils.
I think you misunderstand that these old fucks aren’t working, they’re just collecting the paycheque because it’s easy money for them. They barely need to do anything and have assistants who tell them where to go and how to do everything. They don’t understand what hardwork is so they probably consider themselves workaholics, but reality knows they’re just useless.
I agree with everything except “misunderstand”. We’re completely on the same page.
They think that this is what “work” is, so their expectation is that this is what “workers” experience. They see no need or value in retirement. They don’t realize that they were already living as a retiree before they started campaigning.
