Younger politicians face big barriers like lack of funding and political networks. They often can't match the resources and connections that older politicians have built over decades. Plus, with an aging population, older voters prefer candidates who share their experiences and values. This is why we see leaders like Biden and Pelosi, who have the backing of older demographics and established networks, staying in power.

You clearly did not watch the video. They specifically discussed voters' concerns about the old people they vote for.

I wish this video offered a more detailed discussion of how incumbent advantages have produced older politicians. As the video briefly mentioned, many Congress members from the last 10 years have been people who entered office when they were relatively young back in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Lots of young politicians entered Congress in the 70s partly because general discontent with government/the status quo, the departure of older Dixiecrat politicians, and the ideological realignment of the parties created opportunities for young candidates. I imagine campaign finance challenges contribute to incumbent advantage and aging policymaking bodies. I also imagine that it's easier for old U.S. politicians to remain in office because they have leadership positions (committee chair, whip, majority/minority leader, etc.) that enable them to wield a lot of policymaking power and secure a lot of federal funds for their districts. I'd bet a politician would have to be pretty odious for people to give up the power that comes with having access to people in important positions of congressional power. Also when you're an incumbent, you can ask your long-time friends in government and all the people you worked with to do you favors that aid your election - much like Biden did in 2020 when his campaign remained unpopular throughout most of the primary season. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_members_of_the_United_States_Congress_by_longevity_of_service I think it’s also worth mentioning that major party politicians in the U.S. have not supported the sort of deep organizing that produces high youth voter turnout rates. Unions and other institutions boosted voter participation rates for young people in the mid 20th century, but they have weakened in the last few decades and their voter mobilization role has not been fully replaced. So young people continue to not vote consistently at high rates, which perhaps justifies pivots to older voters in the minds of incumbent politicians.

As an experienced gardener I could say that it didn't need to be root trimmed as it takes a long time to get root bound

The US is also a rare exception amongst democracies in having the age at which someone may stand for election very much higher than the voting age. Before being eligible for election to Congress, voters have to be 25. To be able to even stand for election to the presidency, they have to be 35, or twice the voting age!

they will never put in age limits. stuff like climate goals are pushed so far ahead into the future that by the time we get there these old folk will be long gone

Older people are usually afraid that the younger generation will change things. So they can to hold on to power for as long as possible. But sadly, the result of policies are not felt until decades later when the leaders are no longer alive to be held accountable. So it is the youth that ultimately suffers.

However, while i am at it, I will add that there are members within populations who support older political leaders because their years allow for an accumulation of experience which in turn allows the population to feel a greater sense of assurance when compared with younger leaders. Of course, age is no guarantee of wisdom and right decisions, but that is the advantage they have, at least, in appearance.

People acting like elders are just now taking leadership roles when elders have been consulted or held power throughout history

Younger generations will make changes. That would ruin the system for the powers that be.

Logan’s Run knew something we forgot about.

They cant let go of power! its sick!!!

They are getting older because established politicians don't want to give up power.

Just sounds like a consolidation of wealth / power problem. The US is also suffering from too many baby boomers and such owning houses - and the usual generational wealth transfer being delayed. Of course, we want our parents and grandparents to live as long as possible, but we're likely going to continue to live yet longer over time... And some of these problems need to be addressed so that society can be healthier.

I for one think that the leader of a nation with nukes should be someone who has weathered through various scenarios and has experience in various situations, and such experience can only be gained with age. Not saying that all old leaders are competent but at the same time there is a high chance that a old leader will have better solution than compared to a young one due to better connections, experience and surviving in politics for years.

I think the tendency to choose older leaders comes from a desire for stability or a bad experience of reform. Countries where any change is seen as a good thing (there's nothing worse) usually take risks when choosing energetic leaders. Where the system of power as a whole is assessed as useful, they try to rely on moderately conservative leaders. For example, in France, Germany, Great Britain, Ukraine everything is very bad, and in the USA, China, Russia, Brazil there is a trend of stable growth in well-being.

With age comes experience. Running a country requires tremendous amount of understanding government power structures and network of influential people. It's not that bad to have older politicians. The only constraint should be mental competence, which too is up for people to decide.

1. we have money and political connections

Old means more experience as OLD is GOLD 😂

When it comes to the U.S. at least, it's corruption dude.

Did anyone notice the person in the back dressed as the Monopoly man? 😂😂

Young people are way more struggling today to work and pay the bills than those elder generation now. Seriously, we have no time to represent and have influence on politics or to work in politics.

If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you... prevent inflation

Cuz they are holding on to power for dear life....

Because old people are smart. That's why we have peace.

It doesn't help that politicians are not voted for based on their intelligence or effectiveness. All most voters care about these days is party lines. Simply because a politician is representing a different party from the one the voter identifies with means they are inherently evil. Why do we have politicians who believe that South Pacific islands will capsize if too many people are standing on one side of the island? We just vote in stupid people...

How can we vote for candidates that created the problems in the first place.

We're living in a gerontocracy

because 80 is the new 20

The young are stronger than these incredibly old politicians. We could make them leave by force if they refuse to step down. Us younger people need to grab the steering wheel from the old, regardless of whether they like it or not.

All are literally dictators or corrupt.

Okay, i don't know if my understanding is correct, but I think that is more of an outstanding accuracy than outstanding reflexes, in my opinion reflexes are a reaction to unexpected things, but that's just my opinion tho

45% of lawmakers in the US have a law degree. Studying law makes great demands on memory and reasoning skills. Lawyers get better as they age and take more independent actions. Further, as they get old, they are in their profession given greater deference and respect. Also, they grew up prior to the digimodern revolution of the 1990s responsible for digital dementia today.

Are they not suppose to be retired? If I will nominate someone being president I want the one had train in military hands on training . Like 45 years old . Still young he can work in any job . Strong that way they will respect the U.S. I don't know. What is going on to the world . I am U.S nationality and my father' flag is stand beyond my back .in my back pack. We are gallantly. I had a right to deport who doesn't like me to U.S. for my safety proposes. If I don't feel safe I had a right to deport if I can't deport the one born here there parents.

Now? Like they haven’t been before?

Because they are power hungry old people.

Unmatched Greed from a really twisted upbringing that cursed us all with the worst thing that's ever happened to humanity.

There is ample education research showing that the more integrated brains of older people are able to process complexity that younger people cannot use. For instance the ability to simultaneously consider conflicting information to reach a better decision.

It's not that complex. It's because of the advancement of medical sciences and adaptation of healthy living practices. The more advance our medical sciences are, the more we can postpone the negative impacts of old age. These days more and more people in their 70s and 80s are still driving cars by themselves, running their own businesses, and doing other things even better than many people younger than them.

Because the old generation rigged the game in their favor then blame the younger generations for the problems they caused.

Can we talk about how good that guy looks for 91 though?

Because people live longer with access to better healthcare, younger people don't have millions of dollars to campaign against them and they don't want to leave. If they could figure out how to put their brains in a jar and live in a robot body they probably would.
