We need age and term limits to get these fossils out of office. I feel as though they're not capable of properly representing their electorate

Exactly. What do 80+ year olds know about the needs of modern kids, teenagers, and young adults? Hell, many of them probably still think rent is like $50/month.

That’s not even the biggest concern; they’re not at all invested in the future because they’re not a part of it. Why would they care about any of the consequences the choices/actions they make now that we’ll be dealing with 20 years from now?

Yep, pretty much. They have no incentive to care about any of it really, because the vast majority of them will be long gone by then.
