Is this supposed to be a bad thing? Honestly I don't want the guy holding the nuclear launch codes to be making decisions on a few hours of sleep, no matter what your age is.

The end result of bourgeois "democracy" and voting: Choosing between two geriatric rapists who can't stay up past 8:30pm.

Jesus fuck. He's too old and displaying signs of aging that are incompatible with leading the country. He needs to step aside.

Do you know how many problems would be solved if the nation wasn't run by workaholics, but by people who expect to retire at a reasonable age, while they still have some life to live?

57 is the oldest we should elect a president to their first term, so they are done with gainful, serious work by the age of 65. The only work someone over 65 should be doing is profiting from enjoyment of a useful hobby.

I mean there's reasons we shouldn't let him run, but its because he's actively funding and supplying arms to commit a genocide. Don't you think that matters more than if he wants 8 hours of sleep or not?

Fuck, I want 8 hours of sleep. All laborers should be able to get a 32 hour work week and a solid 8 hours of sleep.

But nobody should be able to commit genocide.

True enough. I agree. But I also think the age is a serious part of it too.

[-] delirious_owl@discuss.online 2 points 2 months ago

Are you saying that old people are more likely to commit genocide than younger people?

Lol I guess I am.
