Remember when Democrats aka BlueMAGA said asking Ginsberg to retire in her 80s so Obama could fill the vacancy was anti-feminist? Same thing.

Maybe they should stop platforming these geriatric fucks and make space for the next generation then.

@finalarbiter

Almost anyone can run for office, including you. Why don't you?

[-] halferect@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Cool give me 300000 dollars and I'll be the next representative

[-] wesdym@mastodon.social -2 points 1 week ago

@halferect Or -- hear me out -- you could either grow the fuck up, or STFU. Take your pick. Bye.

Nobody wants you here. Take the hint.

Almost anyone [with the funding] can run for office

FTFY. I'm not independently wealthy and can't afford to quit my job and campaign for office, even locally. Nor am I interested in selling myself out to corporate interests to get the funding I would need.

It's easy to be holier-than-thou behind a keyboard, though. Why don't you run for office?

Edit: lmao, the keyboard warrior seems to have blocked me

@finalarbiter Stop your childish whining. No one's going to hand you fucking change on a silver platter.

At a certain age, people stop working. And at an even more advanced age, people stop driving. It obviously shows that even the sharpest of minds age. So why the hell are people allowed to work until they literally expire. We need age limits for the government. I'm sick of old people so far removed from today's culture making rules based on Jim Crow era guidelines. Our last two presidents have been barely functional, dementia-riddled puppets AT BEST.

I was confused, because Obama wasn't dementia riddled.....then I remembered Biden existed.

Thats how forgetable his term was.

What is this? Bots' first sarcasm? What perceived cleverness are you responding to?

[-] wesdym@mastodon.social -2 points 1 week ago

@ScientifficDoggo None. That's the point. It's called 'sarcasm'. It's a human concept.

[-] ScientifficDoggo@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

So, to be clear, you just chose to be a sarcastic ass for absolutely no reason? Do you just @ people to take Ls? Is this some sort of online masochism or are you genuinely this unfunny?

DNC treated David Hogg like shit after he was elected to the DNC on the getting rid of geriatric incumbents. He's working outside of them now because he realizes it's rotten.
