Hey let me think I'm young for at least a few more years!

I do think mid 30s is a great age for getting into politics though. They still have decades left to live with the consequences of their decisions, but they also have a bit more experience with how the world works than idealistic 18 year olds.

Ideally they should also exit politics in less than a century, but I guess we'll see how that plays out.
