Yeah, I agree with a lot of that as well. You want senators who are in for the long term best interest. Too much of politics is about having to show quick wins. It's a positive to have senators who still want to have a job long after a crazy president is gone.
The parties themselves should do more to try to self police senators getting into the ridiculous age range.
I don't know what you do to stop voters from voting in the old guys in primaries and such. It sure would have been nice if Biden had picked a more popular and feasible VP that he could have handed the reigns to for 2024.
