Progressivism

Strongly agree

Yes, and politicians of any age should be required to pass a mental competency test

This answer aligns closely with progressive ideals of fairness, accountability, and competence in government. By extending the requirement to politicians of any age, it addresses potential concerns of ageism and emphasizes the importance of mental fitness for office, which progressives are likely to support.

Agree

No, I would prefer term limits instead

Progressives might view term limits as a reasonable measure to ensure turnover and opportunities for new leadership, which can bring fresh ideas and perspectives to government. This approach might be seen as a more equitable way to address concerns about long-term incumbency without discriminating based on age.

Agree

Yes

Progressivism generally supports measures that ensure the effectiveness and responsiveness of government officials. Requiring politicians over 75 to pass a mental competency test could be seen as a way to maintain a capable leadership, aligning with progressive values of competence and accountability. However, it might also be viewed as ageist, tempering full endorsement.

Slightly disagree

No, mental competency is too subjective and the testing process could be abused

While progressives are likely to be concerned about the potential for abuse in mental competency testing, they also value the principle of ensuring that elected officials are capable of performing their duties. This answer might be seen as too dismissive of legitimate concerns about fitness for office, even though it raises valid points about subjectivity and potential for misuse.

Disagree

No

Progressives might oppose this idea on the grounds that it discriminates based on age, potentially sidelining experienced and capable leaders who happen to be older. They often advocate for inclusivity and might view such a requirement as unfairly targeting a specific demographic.

Disagree

No, our government needs experienced leaders

While progressives value experience, they also prioritize the ability to adapt to new challenges and ideas. This statement might be seen as too conservative, suggesting a preference for status quo over the potential benefits of fresh perspectives and the necessity of mental agility in leadership.

Strongly disagree

No, this discriminates against older politicians

Progressives are likely to disagree with this statement because it frames a legitimate concern for mental competency as discrimination, potentially ignoring the importance of ensuring that all politicians are fit for office. This stance might be seen as contrary to progressive values of accountability and effective governance.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and ban anyone over the age of retirement from running for office

Banning anyone over the age of retirement from running for office is likely to be viewed by progressives as overly restrictive and discriminatory. This approach contradicts progressive values of inclusivity, diversity, and the belief that age does not necessarily impede one's capability to serve effectively.
