Speaking as someone not from the country, US federal politics has became alarmingly... gerontocratic. Which means the younger generations get fewer chances to grow political acumen and expertise (unless, of course, they have backing). Which only hurts the rest of the country in the long term.

We have the opportunity to elect younger people. Apparently, we don't want to.
