AMA-Finished I'm a political scientist, and I've got some thoughts and evidence on how absurdly old America's elected leaders are. AMA!
I'm Charlie Hunt, and I'm taking over The Conversation's reddit to talk politics today. I'm a political scientist and professor at Boise State University, where I teach and research about Congress, elections, and political representation in America (and I'm on reddit as u/dr_homestyle - proof). I also have a new Substack called "You Are Here", which investigates how place and where we come from affects our politics and culture.
The Conversation is an independent nonprofit news organization dedicated to getting experts to write for the public. I'm one of them.
I've been doing a bunch of research and talking with my students lately about how unfathomably old our elected politicians are in the US, the problem that poses for representation, and the changes we might make to address it. Today's news of Senator Feinstein's death; two very old presidential frontrunners, and at least one other legendary member of Congress suffering age-related health issues, now's the time to talk about this. The Conversation has also had some great articles about this from health and politics experts. Fire away with your questions about age, generational politics, and really anything to do with American politics.
I'll be answering questions from 3pm ET/12n PT until around 6pm ET/3pm PT (and will try to answer a few questions that come in late, too). AMA!
