Its a path that goes clear off the map, to adventure and peril, to treasure and dragons, fine food and ale, and gold. Aye, gold. Tread not lightly on that path, but with a firm step and a light heart

YOU ARE ALL AMAZING!
I put this thread out there yesterday regarding my job search. It was scary and nerve wracking to be so personal. But you all came through in spade’s. Not only did you all boost my confidence, but you gave me great ideas and some of you are helping me directly.

In response to Jordan Bernstein.
Calling older people dinosaurs is also ageism. People with certain neurological conditions that limits their ability to safely conduct their business may be a reason not to hold certain jobs or public office. That has nothing to do with a person's age.

Biden isn’t a boomer tho. He’s Silent Generation. Boomers are 57-75 years of age. Totally get what you’re trying to say but society has started trying to redefine what boomer means/is. Most try to say anyone over 40 is a boomer anymore.

Can we just let the people voting decide how old they want their politicians to be and how long they want them to serve via the ballot box? After all, Raúl Grijalva has been in office since 2002 and it has been great for his district and the country

Sheilah Hayden @Tsquared2001Term limits would do nothing about ageism. See AOC; under term limits, she would be turfed out after her next election at the age of 35.04:26 PM - Sep 30, 2023

I know there will be the inevitable claims of "piling on" over the ageism, but like so many -isms, these aren't issues with SIDES, they are bigotry, and that is going to get called out every time. You telling me that I surrender a right because of age is a means to control me, and I won't have it.
01:25 PM - Sep 30, 2023
The only way to combat bigotry is to make being a bigot uncomfortable.
You can't be "too mean" to bigots. Bigots flourish when people demand they be treated with the respect they don't show others.

No, you actually do. The RW loves to limit voting rights to those they deem unfit. Same as your suggestion.

.. and those men also have daddy issues, of course. What we’re left with is the majority party having the most interest in preserving this democracy and that seems to be a position of power.
But that power is only useful at the ballot box. And we’ve got folk waffling on that

We’ve always prided ourselves on our press to call attention and shout the truth about the dangers of dangerous rhetoric but the founders never foresaw the counter-power of capitalism and foreign ownership of mass media by folk who would love to destroy the nation

Americans complacent about authoritarian actions don’t see the danger in a civilian leader /former president calling for the execution of a Military Leader. Folk here who survived military vs politicians coups and wars know exactly how dangerous such rhetoric is.

But we know the free press is also owned & managed by white men -the same men who have daddy issues and who, as stated at the start of this thread, prostrate themselves to Trump and other horrible examples of what a man, father, & leader should be.

A democracy with a free press as enshrined in its constitution as a way to ensure truth to power is as important as exposing the harm from the powerful .. just sits back and blows bubbles while authoritarian forces move with alarming speed.

Seeing Trump call for the execution of General Miley and republicans in office and out-agreeing with him should be shocking in the self-proclaimed “World’s Greatest Democracy” but it wasn’t and isn’t.

These men are heavily republican but of course not exclusively. And certainly not exclusively white men. With white men having the most power though their daddy issues cause all of us harm.
