In what world is mid 30s young? I’d rather have a political cabinet of people who have to live with the consequences of their decisions, than a hundred variants of Holden Bloodfeast.
Hey let me think I’m young for at least a few more years!
I do think mid 30s is a great age for getting into politics though. They still have decades left to live with the consequences of their decisions, but they also have a bit more experience with how the world works than idealistic 18 year olds.
Ideally they should also exit politics in less than a century, but I guess we’ll see how that plays out.
It’s certainly good news to me that some elderly politically-actives have been very much in favor of younger politicians. They’ve been very happy to have me around in phone banks, and wish for more candidates around my age.

Just a bunch of young 30 year olds. You know, the age greater than most of our founding fathers.

In the world of “our median audience member is 67”.
I’d say mid 30s is perfect, enough real world experience to hopefully be a decent person, enough time left to have ambition for something.
