为什么美国选举中会有这么多年长的政治家？
正文翻译
The issues of age and candidate vitality are having an impact on the 2024 election. Lawmakers in the U.S. are relatively old when compared to similar legislative bodies around the world. Senior, incumbent politicians tend to have advantages when it comes to experience, life circumstance and fundraising abilities that can increase their odds of re-election. Meanwhile, the aging officials could influence public spending decisions that shape the U.S. economy for years to come.
年龄和候选人活力的问题对2024年选举产生了影响。与世界其他类似立法机构相比，美国的立法者相对较老。资深的现任政治家在经验、生活情况和筹款能力方面通常具有优势，这可以增加他们连任的机会。同时，年长的官员可能会影响公共支出决策，从而在未来几年内塑造美国经济。

Why are so many elderly in positions of power? Because power is a hell of a drug.
为什么这么多老人处于权力位置？因为权力就像一种致命的毒品。

Let me put my two cents worth in. The reason why this country has an issue with much older candidates is that the older generation don't want to step aside and allow room for the younger generation to have their hand at it. I equate this to selfishness. These older candidates don't want to retire and that's sad. They want to continue to drain the government of their paychecks instead of respectfully stepping aside. It all spells out selfishness to me.
让我发表一点个人看法。这国家之所以有这么多年长的候选人，是因为老一代不愿意让出位，给年轻一代留出空间。我认为这是自私的表现。这些年长的候选人不愿意退休，这很可悲。他们宁愿继续从政府那里领取薪水，而不是尊重地让位。这一切都显得很自私。

"War is just a bunch of old men arguing, then sending young men to die "....that sums it up to why the u.s is always embroiled in so many wars .give the young lads a chance
“战争就是一群老人在争论，然后派年轻人去战死”……这总结了为什么美国总是卷入如此多的战争。给年轻人一个机会吧。

Less than 50% of people aged 18 - 24 are registered to vote. While more than 75% of people above the age of 55 are registered to vote. That's why politicians are old af. Cos while young people go to riots and protests, while old people go to the polling booths and party primaries.
18至24岁的人中不到50%注册投票，而55岁以上的人中有超过75%注册投票。这就是为什么政治家都很老的原因。因为年轻人参加抗议和示威，而老年人则去投票站和政党初选。

They should all retire at 70, if they want to continue advisory roles are a thing. How do you expect a 80 year old to understand the problems of the 30-45 year olds that run the economy?
他们应该在70岁退休，如果想继续参与工作，可以担任顾问角色。你怎么能指望80岁的人理解30到45岁那些掌握经济大权的人的问题呢？

One answer: Greed, the process isn’t set up to have people representing the future of the country. You need so much money from donors that make it pretty impossible to ever have a young candidate.
一个答案：贪婪，选举过程并非为选出代表国家未来的人而设立。你需要从捐赠者那里获得大量资金，因此几乎不可能选出年轻的候选人。

Across the whole economy, Boomers and Silents have been clinging to their jobs instead of retiring like their predecessors did. They like being in charge and don't want to let go. In politics, there are some other problems. Incumbents do better than new candidates, so parties run the same people over and over again until they decide to retire. Parties also discourage primarying sitting politicians, so you often don't have an opportunity to vote them out. Then there are only 2 viable parties, so you can't vote for the other side to get your old politician out because that would be worse than having an old politician.
在整个经济领域中，婴儿潮一代和沉默的一代一直紧抓自己的职位，而不是像他们的前辈那样退休。他们喜欢掌控权力，不愿意放手。在政治上，还有其他一些问题。现任者比新候选人表现更好，因此政党会反复提名同样的人，直到他们决定退休。政党也不鼓励挑战现任政治家，所以你往往没有机会把他们投票淘汰。再加上只有两个可行的政党，你不能投票给另一个党派来替换掉老政治家，因为那样的结果可能会比继续保留老政治家更糟。

The baby boomer generation was huge and is still alive and voting. So they vote for the people they like, who happen to be even older than they are in some cases.
Until the younger generations outnumber the boomers , or unless they boomers start voting younger, then we will be stuck with these older politicians.
婴儿潮一代非常庞大，而且他们仍然活着并参与投票。因此，他们会投票给他们喜欢的人，而这些人有时甚至比他们自己还要年长。直到年轻一代的人数超过婴儿潮一代，或者除非婴儿潮一代开始投票给年轻人，否则我们将不得不继续接受这些年长的政治家。

Main inhibitors for us Gen Z to enter politics
1. Current elderly politicians refusal to step aside and make way for younger candidates
2. The refusal by older voters to look beyond just resume and age and acknowledge policy positions of younger people
3. Minimum age requirements but no age limits
4. It is prohibitively expensive to run a genuine competitive campaign. I’m worried about rent and I’m running against somebody who’s made more money than I could ever dream of
5. Heads of parties ridiculously antagonistic and cynical treatment of tinder candidates who want to challenge status quo
阻碍我们Z世代进入政治的主要因素：
现有的老年政治家拒绝退位，为年轻候选人让路。
老年选民拒绝超越简历和年龄，只关注年轻人的政策立场。
最低年龄要求，但没有年龄上限。
竞选真正具有竞争力的运动费用过高。我担心房租，而我却在与一个赚的钱比我梦想中的还多的人竞争。
党的领导对那些想要挑战现状的年轻候选人采取了极端敌对和愤世嫉俗的态度。

Media consolidation around their chosen brand names is the reason. The corporate owned news networks promote the older candidates because their ability to draw attention is proven. They make it hard for new and you get candidates to establish themselves.
原因是媒体围绕他们选择的品牌名称进行整合。企业拥有的新闻网络推广年长的候选人，因为他们吸引注意力的能力是公认的。他们让新人很难脱颖而出，从而让候选人确立自己的地位。

I truly respect old generation, they have enormous life experiences. And why old politicians doesn't give themselves a chance to become volunteers in colleges, institutions, very high level educational programs after retirement age ? We all do that. New generation should know about economy, market, political field, history from best of the best. And maybe we'll be in better places tomorrow. I absolutely agree, it should be the limit age to perform in government. We in need more sharp, fast response and younger smart people in government. All of them should be like heroes to young generation , good hearted and very educated.
我真的很尊敬老一代，他们有着丰富的生活经验。为什么老政治家们在退休后不去大学、机构或高级教育项目做志愿者呢？我们都应该这样做。新一代应该从最优秀的人那里了解经济、市场、政治领域和历史。也许我们明天会处于更好的境地。我完全同意，政府中应该有年龄限制。我们需要更多敏捷、反应迅速且聪明的年轻人来参与政府工作。他们都应该成为年轻一代的英雄，心地善良且受过良好教育。

In the UK we got a politician who was aged 20 when elected that was in 2015, a few year later a 25 year old was elected.
在英国，我们有一位在2015年当选时年仅20岁的政治家，几年后又有一位25岁的政治家当选。

I think 25 would be old enough to be president, hell I'd vote for a competent teenager at this point. I'm 43 and I can see younger people are caring more then 20ys ago. I've always loved plants and animals, it's wonderful to see more people being compassionate to each other.
我认为25岁足够担任总统了，老实说，现在我甚至会为一个有能力的青少年投票。我43岁了，我能看到年轻人比20年前更关心这些问题。我一直喜欢植物和动物，看到越来越多人对彼此表现出更多的同情心真是太棒了。

Cognitive ability testing is important. Age is not problem as long as there are no problems with cognitive ability or mental health.
认知能力测试很重要。只要认知能力和心理健康没有问题，年龄就不是问题。

I hold the belief that politicians need a time in service cap and an absolute expiration cap. Can't serve longer than 20 years and the expiration age cap is 65. Many of the current leaders are from an era that has stunted growth and positive change. Not to mention what OP said about these individuals refusing to step aside out greed and selfishness. Some of the younger leaders are no better, such as AOC who is dimwitted, vapid, and frankly, doesn't know the rules and regulations of our country's laws.
我认为政治家需要设定服务时间上限和绝对年龄上限。服务时间不得超过20年，年龄上限为65岁。许多现任领导者来自一个阻碍增长和积极变革的时代。更不用说OP提到的那些人因贪婪和自私拒绝让位的情况了。一些年轻的领导者也并不比现在的老一代更好，比如AOC，她显得愚蠢、肤浅，坦率地说，她对我们国家的法律规则并不了解。

Only a matter of time when concern the median age is too low.
关于中位年龄过低的问题，这只是时间问题而已。

That last statement about requirements of capabilities for the Presidency
Does that truly apply to all or is that the lie we tell young candidates? Right now the single qualification feels to be “electability”.
关于总统职位要求能力的最后那句话，是否真的适用于所有人，还是我们对年轻候选人撒的谎？目前，唯一的资格要求似乎就是“当选资格”。

Part of the problem with getting younger people into politics, mainly as far as the GOP is concerned, is that most of their younger political aspirants are too extreme for the average American voter: Lauren Boebert, MTG, Matt Gaetz, Josh Hawley, JD Vance, etc.
让年轻人进入政治领域的一个问题，尤其是对于共和党来说，是他们的许多年轻政治志向者对普通美国选民来说过于极端：Lauren Boebert、MTG、Matt Gaetz、Josh Hawley、JD Vance 等等。

On the other hand, where (and who) are the talented younger politicians on deck to step in? Mostly in Wall Street? Silicone Valley?
另一方面，哪些地方（和哪些人）有才华的年轻政治家可以接替他们的位置？主要是在华尔街？还是硅谷？

I think taking more money out of campaigning would also allow for lower barriers of entry. Less money, shorter campaign times. In the US, it literally feels like 24/7 campaigning and it takes a lot of fundraising. But also, people have to realize voting in primaries is a thing. You can't just vote every 4 years. It is a lot to keep track of, but this is also part of being a voter and making the system more effective.
我认为减少竞选中的资金投入也可以降低进入门槛。更少的资金，较短的竞选时间。在美国，竞选感觉像是全天候的，且需要大量筹款。但人们也要意识到，初选投票是很重要的。你不能只每四年投一次票。这需要跟进，但这也是作为选民的一部分，并使系统更有效。

I'm from Poland, not American, so this news topic does not concern me directly, but we all have the same questions with politicians. I looked up the typical ages of senior military officers in the US, it's a good guideline, right? The promotion to 4-star general is typically at age 58, and that's a good age for the very top jobs in government as well, I'd say. The promotion to lt colonel and colonel is 39 and 45, and that might be equivalent to a senator or a congressman perhaps? It would make sense, they'd have 15-20 years time for a non-political career, 15-20 years to learn the ropes of politics and then they could go for the top job(s)?
我来自波兰，不是美国人，所以这个新闻话题对我来说不直接相关，但我们对政治家也有同样的问题。我查了一下美国高级军官的典型年龄，这是不是一个不错的参考？四星将军的晋升通常在58岁，这也许是政府最高职位的合适年龄。我认为晋升为中校和上校的年龄分别是39岁和45岁，这也许与参议员或国会议员相当？这很有道理，他们会有15-20年的非政治生涯时间，15-20年学习政治的时间，然后他们可以争取最高职位。

i mean its obviously because the parties are both so static, due to there being no outside competition from new parties
我的意思是，显然是因为两大党都如此僵化，缺乏来自新政党的外部竞争。

Mandatory retirement ages. Many states have them for various offices. I don’t think there is any for federal office holders. 70 is usually the mandatory age but health has improved since then so I would say must start the term by age 75. That should clear out the octogenarians.
强制退休年龄。许多州对各种职位有强制退休年龄。我认为联邦职位没有这样的规定。70岁通常是强制退休年龄，但考虑到健康状况改善，我认为应该要求在75岁之前开始任期。这样应该可以排除八十多岁的人。
