On McConnell, Feinstein, aging and mandatory retirement ages

[BlueKota]

14. I wrongly jumped on the age limit bandwagon yesterday.

I reacted emotionally not intellectually to seeing McConnell starring at the camera like he had no clue of who he was or where he was. He also looked like he was scared and helpless. I can't stand the guy, but I felt he should be getting treatment, and maybe he's not able to admit he needs help. Also I wondered could people manipulate how he votes when he's having a weak spell.

As it was rightfully pointed out to me, however, not all older individuals suffer from mental deterioration. Like obviously President Biden doesn't, and neither do many others. Not to mention all the other younger representatives who have intellectual and mental challenges.

I know we should trust the voters and in a democracy we have to accept it whether we like it or not. But it's freaking hard when you have people who would vote for a corpse as long as they had an R after their name. Not to mention the ones who voted for a mentality deranged criminally oriented asshole like Trump. It be fine if only the people who voted for him had to live with the consequences of his dangerous behavior but that's not the case.
