    Yes. Either him or AOC would have been great. It’s not okay that they were blocked. I’m not okay with it.

      AOC was blocked until now by not being at least 35 years old. Approve of that condition or not, at least it’s legitimately in the Constitution (unlike the bullshit that torpedo’d Sanders).

        I’m ok with the 35 year old limit, I do think someone needs a good amount of life experience before leading a country. I also support limiting it at a max of 65 years.

        Old enough to see some shit, young enough that your decisions affect your own life

        She would be eligible this past election though, but it was pretty stupid all around. She would have been under 35 running, but over by the time she would be taking office, so eligible.
