      I was referring to how half of them look like they have one foot in the grave and should have retired already.

      Also, her obvious corruption. Her and her husband make waaaaaaaay above average on the stock market due to her insider knowledge. But I’m sure that never affects her policy positions.

      I don’t think that joke was about women’s looks or even denigrating to old people, I think it was about highlighting the inappropriateness of people that old still working. I feel like the joke was kinda analogous to a joke about toddlers running a DMV, which would not be a joke denigrating toddlers.

        Yes, that was what I was going for. I wouldn’t ever call an old lady ugly, so I didn’t even see how my comment could be misinterpreted. In hindsight, I think I should have quoted the “ancient” bit from the comment I was responding to.

        Thanks!
