    Vote only for candidates who promise to fight for maximum age limits for all Congressional, executive and judicial positions. End the gerontocracy.

      The party can legally just ignore primary votes and name anyone for any spot in the general.

      If push comes to shove, I really can’t say for sure that they’ll all hand the keys over if it’s a wave. I think there’s a decent chance the close ranks, and if any state party doesn’t, the DNC cuts them off. Like, for the last decade they been standing on a pile of dynamite threatening to drop it if we don’t do what they say.

      Especially with age related cognitive decline, I think they’ll drop the match honestly believe they’re doing what’s best.

      Which is exactly why they need to go.

        In the same way that the US government can just ignore its own Constitution without violating any international laws.
