I’d be more concerned about her being too right wing.
Two things can be true at once.
But also, 59 is getting close to geriatocracy territory. Just because the Senate is named after an institution of old men doesn’t mean it should strive to imitate all the bullshit of its namesake.
A workaholic attitude toward life is far worse for all of us than a right-wing ideology. Our political representatives believe it virtuous to work into the grave, so none of us get to retire.
If you think that being involved in politics at 59 is a workaholic attitude and worse than being right wing, you should be publicly executed for good measure.
Because it’s not worth arguing about. If someone thinks that being 60 in elected office is worse than being right wing, that doesn’t even rise to the level of ridiculous.
Bernie Sanders (as an example) is over 60 and doesn’t have the stance you mentioned earlier. Despite all the doom and gloom you see on the news, there are definitely older people fighting the good fight. I do wish politicians would shift down in age a bit but telling someone they should be killed for their opinion isn’t being a better person than those you’re fighting against.
Edit: I see your edit but my point is still that wishing death on people you disagree with ain’t the way
She’s 59. She should be thinking about retirement, not running.
59? That seems extremely young to retire. I’d be more concerned about her being too right wing.

6 years from retirement age.

“You should die”, what a good argument… Not saying I think they’re right but I do think you’re wrong.

Ok so we agree, you just don’t like my shit talking. Totally acceptable.
