The job of campaigning against Trump and being president is not a job for someone who is pushing 80 years old. The DNC needs to do the right thing and put into place a maximum age to be effective immediately. THe Democratic party is quickly becoming "Trumpified" and his supporting whoever be the grumpiest old curmudgeon. We have to be better than the GOP or we risk letting a literal racist president get two terms.

A little late in the game.
 
Bernie is putting younger candidates to shame with his hard campaigning, doing more events than them, with more energy. My favorite endorses of Bernie talked about this that I saw just today:

That pesky Constitution... :(
 
80 is the new 50?
 
Let people vote for who they want.

Discrimination is totally legal when it benefits the DNC
 
We emphasize age more than we should. What’s important is whether the candidate is in touch with the concerns and needs of the country, not the candidate’s physical age.
