New York Post accidentally campaigns for Zohran

Privileged lefty radicals, huh? I thought it was poor people being lefties because they want handouts. Choose one boogeyman lol

It's part of the fascist agenda. Your opponent is both too weak and too strong
- Ah, like Russia is supposed to be.
Outing them as persons with empathy.
TAKES A REAL GHOUL TO CARE ABOUT THE WELLBEING OF OTHERS. - MAGA

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.

In the world of "our median audience member is 67".
Just a bunch of young 30 year olds. You know, the age greater than most of our founding fathers.
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.
Hindenburgs.

Well, I guess Google failed me. I'll delete

Is this list AI slop? Just skimming the list, Andrew Jackson obviously didn't sign at 9 years old. Henry Clinton and Charles Cornwallis were both British generals. We all know who King George III was. Martha Washington and Abigail Adams were women...
- Definitely. I googled it, and the ai search result said: "Andrew Jackson was not yet born when the Declaration of Independence was signed; he was nine years old in 1776, the year it was signed. He was too young to be a signer..."
  Ai is totally confused on the subject
Kind George III was a founding father? What is this list?
- Well, I guess Google failed me. I'll delete

A vote for Zohran is a vote for anarchy!

I've been saying for years we need older people running the government.

We've voted celebrities in government positions with NO experience. Enough said.

Fucking trump and then Reagan was a cenile celibrity puppet
- Reagan was a 2nd rate actor who was most famous for playing 2nd banana to a literal chimpanzee.
  But... Reagan was involved in politics for a long time before he became president. Even before he was governor of California he had his hands in some political roles before he gave up acting.

oh new york post, you don't have to sell this harder; we're already on board!

36 is still young? Thanks New York Post!

There's 36-year-olds in the tech industry having difficulty finding work because they're perceived as too old.

Meanwhile we've got a succession of Presidents who are well above retirement age and people act like that's how things should be.

Meanwhile having a 19 year old called Big Balls ransacked the data of an entire nation for personal gain and assault workers doing essential work is no biggie.

I see so much support for Zohran in the MSM, they keep posting his Ws.

Woah there I already supported the guy no need for the hard sell

God forbid the people governing are young enough to actually be affected by the long term outcomes of their policies. Almost like they have a reason to care.

Certainly wouldn't want that

None of these people have Eric Adams's swag. None of them will be going to Istanbul to do body shots off an underaged war refugee. None of them are taking their salaries in Bitcoin. None of them want "New York State of Mind" playing from rescue drones paroling Coney Island.

Is this really what our beautiful, bountiful, bootilicious city wants? Are we going to elect a bunch of 30-something civics nerds?

Not on my watch!

Well the federal government is full of reality and fake news stars with no government experience. How bad could it be at the local level of it "works" on the federal level.

30s... Young...

So I know I'm having an existential crisis over the fact that people my age are leading parties in my country, but I personally think 30 something is an age you should be able to run for political office?

I mean, I personally don't think that the modern political landscape should be like the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in the 1980s.

The US founding fathers decided that the president has to be at least 35, which to me implies that those individuals have had some political experience before becoming president. IMO roughly half the Senate should be under 35, and a good chunk of the House of Representatives should be under 29 considering Senate terms are 6-years long.
Not that you should have to be a "career politician" before becoming president, but it's fairly common to want to show some experience at leadership/politics.
I'm not really a fan, but look at "Mayor" Pete Buttigeg. One of the biggest attacks against him when he ran was "being president is not the same as being a mayor" (meanwhile we'll elect CEOs like their experience means anything, but that's a whole other problem).
- I believe the age limit was, at least in part, an attempt to immitate the Cursus Honorum of Rome - where to become Consul you were supposed to go through a series of lower posts and therefore couldn't really get that high up before a certain age. But even then, it was very prestigious for a Roman to be Consul "in his year" (ie. as early as theoretically possible), rather than it being a lifetime achievement award.
- Honestly, maybe having served as a congressman, senator, mayor or other form of public office, for at least 4 years; would be a rather sensible requirement for becoming president.
- I mean surely if the lower limit to becoming president is 35, then surely the campaign team to become Mayor (not president) of a city can have an average age of 30?
  Also, I don't give a shit what the Founding Fathers said, not just because I'm not American, but because I don't think that because a group of revered men said something means it's right. That's something I'd expect from religion rather than politics, which is apt because there are two (maybe three if you count Rushmore) Congress funded pieces of art that depict George Washington as a God.
- I’m not really a fan, but look at “Mayor” Pete Buttigeg. One of the biggest attacks against him when he ran was “being president is not the same as being a mayor” (meanwhile we’ll elect CEOs like their experience means anything, but that’s a whole other problem).
  Y'all also elect representatives and senators as presidents, but that's the legislative branch so that actually has less in common with presidency than mayors or CEOs, both of which are more executive branch roles
- The US founding fathers decided that the president has to be at least 35, which to me implies that those individuals have had some political experience before becoming president.
  It's also worth noting that, when the Constitution became a thing, vaccines had yet to make their big change on stage. So, the typical life expectancy was to about 35-ish at the time.
- Experience in politics is a detraction nowadays. They are all sold out to greater and lesser degrees with a few exceptions like my man bernie but even he backs off some issues.
  Jon Stewart 2028!

"Look at these young 30 year old babies" says the skeleton clinging to his senate desk for a second millennia

I was gonna say, I'm near the top end of these ages. Glad I'm considered young again...
- 🤟🏻yolo

I'm already decided, NYT, you don't have to sell it to me.

The Post is even more conservative than the Times
- Isn't it pure uncut Murdoch?
As mentioned, this is the Murdoch tabloid "... Post", not the far better "... Times".
- "Times" has turned into an absolute rag at this point too
- How is Rupert still alive? Does hell not want him back?

Obligatory fuck Rupert Murdoch.

They're trying to lean on the world Privileged, but the people they need to convince he's bad already know every other option is also privileged.

The people accusing them of being privileged are all ivy league aristocrats.
- That too.

OMG! horrible! They're not even narcissists! How are they gonna politic and hurt the right people? /s

People with personality disorders are usually the ones being attacked by the right. The left are the ones who stick up for neurodivergent rights.

Why is US politics so elitist? In the Nordics, our democracy is intended to allow for anyone to run for a political position. Government for the people, by the people?

How can you possibly enshrine the rights of unbridled capitalism and ensure endless extortion if you let the poors and minorities participate? Think about the profits damn it! How will the share holders survive?!?!!! For the people by the people? Don’t make me anxious. For the markets by the rich white land owning men. * sighs in American relief and comfort *
Because US politics was created to serve wealthy slave owners, and not much has changed since.
Oligarchy
The people holding the seats are doing everything in their power to keep them. On both sides.
Money.

They could complain they're awfully white and not diverse

Wow, all people who know how to find a file saved to their computer

IDK about that... Three of them are under 30.
- under 30 is fine in me experience. it's born after 2002 that not understanding a file directory shows up

Political outsiders! Isn’t that what the right wanted? Drain the swamp!

Zero dollars received from AIPAC? These youngsters have no idea how politics work!
Drain the swamp!
They meant minorities.
They were so caught up in finding outsiders, they forgot to check for swamp dwellers.

Then posts photos of non-billionaires trying to enter government

what does "radicals" even mean in this context

Not fascist.
That they're not republicans in disguise.
That they believe people have rights
Appreciation for basic human dignity.
It means they care about people.
It has no substance, just your standard divisive News Corp speak.
They want something to change in the benefit of the people.
that they want taxpayer money to go to improving the lives of the taxpayers, not wasted in the military

Sweet, according to the New York Post, I'm still young.

Don't you know? 36 is the new 18!

They are all almost twice the age of Elon's DOGE lackeys.

Best campaign ad I've seen on a while. Dudes got my vote! Look at those young faces. So much hope. Please please please don't get tainted by the money and power. Either our next group of leaders fix this shit hole, or we're 100% dead as a nation.

“Little government experience” was seen as a plus for Trump. Why not for Zohran?

Let’s shake up the system. Drain the swamp!

No no, but Trump has business experience, so he's obviously qualified.
He did what? To how many businesses?

He should hire big balls.

I think he's got enough

It's so typical that they wouldn't even be able to read what their own front page says, lol

punk rock

Ok.

A felon rapist traitor pedophile has been hiring teenagers to run federal departments.

So hiring people in their mid 20s to mid 30s is well above the bar.

That's actually tragically hilarious. Except for the lefty part the description exactly meets the current administration. And didn't Mr. Doge have a couple of actual teenagers on staff? LOL.
