Like I said, I do know who she is… thanks to CNN and their desperate attempts at remain relevant among celebrity worshippers. Now it’s your turn to repeat exactly what you said before!
I hate America’s stance on this. No fucking spine whatsoever! Shot in the head by accident? Nope. The only accident here is that they probably thought she was Palestinian.
Ps. I am extremely sad to see left leaning progressives go all bananas about sexism and racism but just embracing ageism as if that is somehow acceptbale.
Saying that age is an indicator of cognitive decline is not ageist. Saying things like “this person is TOO OLD and TOO FARTY to be president” is. This is what my problem here is with.
Saying a President cannot be above 80 is like saying women should not be firefighters (or some other similar sexist nonsense). Neither people can control their age or gender, but they sure as fuck can prove themselves as competent in a certain field and this is what we should be judging.
We’re not in the fucking bronze age. No need to draw lines in sand and say “80 BAAAAD”. PLEASE. Let’s just be a tadfuck more sophisticated than that. Millions of years of evolution, we can be a fair fucking society can’t we?
Admit? People get weird when they age? Any studies to back this up at all? I live in Sweden where a large portion of the population is quite old. You have those who need care, and you have those who are just fine (like anyone in any age group). I’m surprised to see this kind of agesim BS on Lemmy tbh. Are we really stupid enough to judge the competence of a person based on how many times we rotated the sun? Please. There is plenty to hate about Trump. The passing of time is not one of them.
P.S: I think your attitude sucks and I hope that when/if you hit 80, you have people around you that don’t have this attitude so they don’t bin you into early grave my metaphorically killing you before you are dead.
