I have a theoretical, bear with me. We have see Trumps route of getting things done. When he doesn’t get what he wants, he sues, sues, sues, ties it up in legal fees and buries it in court to push it away, or litigates the hell out of it. “Interpreting” if it can even be called that, the most minute wording of the law to fit them.
Now, think of this for the Democrats. Democrats under 30 on average are so vehemently against Trump but they are just as much against the established Democrat Party as a whole. This is not a new issue either, FDR argued in 1929 that the Democrats were simply acting as the opposition party and stood for nothing, ring any bells? Even when he was in office Democrats would rail against him for his decisions, much like establishment Dems siding with Republicans over certain, more Progressive members of the Party.
Getting to the meat of my discussion, the people in today’s America are more self involved than ever, and that’s not their faults. They are up to their ears in debt, whether that be medical, housing, student debt, bills, taxes, etc. they have supercomputers that provide endless dopamine-adhd inducing flow and thy have to worry about themselves and in 2 years that won’t change when the Democrat party says “we’re running ______ the corporate/big pharma/focus grouped Dem for President!!!” And the crowd goes absolutely silent…as Padishah Emperor Marcus Antonius Rubius or whoever runs away with the election.
As Bruce Wayne said in Batman Begins “the people need a dramatic example to be shaken from their apathy” what if that took the form of a democrat that was in their 20’s. The constitution states that no one will run for President who has not “attained” 35 years, one could argue through some sort of mental maturity test that they’ve sure attained 35 years of age in experience, like a Vet or Governor. Also, the 14th Amendment’s equal protection principle, applied to the federal government through the Fifth Amendment, arguably could go up against Article II. This mainly stems from me reading about Alexander the Great lately. He wasn’t just a great military commander but was legendary because he was wise beyond his years, becoming who he was at just 23 years old.
So my discussion question is this, with what we’ve see that can come from willpower, could someone who is under 35, with the sheer political willpower and lawyer team, seek to circumvent the rule to become the Democratic nominee in 2028. I personally believe that would get Dem voters, especially young ones, out in droves, but again, a fun theory I thought of while reading. Tell me your thoughts.
