    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.

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

        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.

        Edit: switched words around by accident

          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
