Elijah Manley was still a teenager when his frustration with President Trump pushed him to get involved in politics. Today, he’s finally old enough to run for Congress. Upset with how his own Democratic Party is responding to Trump, he’s decided to do just that.

    Please, we need to get people in office who are at least young enough to know how to use social media correctly

        How about a simple test: if you remember Kent State happening, you’re now too old for office.

          I’m 57. I remember where I was when Reagan was shot. I’m too old to be a politician.

            No you aren’t.

            There is no “too old to be a politician” since old people exist and need representation too.

            We just ought to have representation that matches demographics, but that’s DEI and basically communism now or something

      We need more young people to run in general. They can hire people to handle social media but we need people who are going to be directly impacted by the laws they pass.
