You do realize that not only the subject matter but also the fact you didn't bother with alt text on your images leaves you open to an accusation of ableism, right? Why don't we start with drug testing, which is completely objective, if we're going to test people for public office?

In other news, successful politicians tend to be older than the population as a whole because it takes money to run (which takes time to amass), as well as a network of connections who believe in you and are willing to back you, which also isn't usually instant. There's also often a process of paying your dues, where you start with a small local office and "work your way up." All this stuff is more obvious to older people who have seen the opportunities open to them shift based on things they did 5 or 20 years ago than it would be to someone who's 18.
