Current Democrat elite (Biden 78, Pelosi 81, Hoyer 80, Clyburn 80) is actually older than average 1980s politburo members at death (Brezhnev 75, Andropov 69, Chernenko 73)

Of course US is a gerontocracy. Also at best a partial democracy (because no country w/an electoral system this corrupt can possibly be considered a full democracy), w/a constitution in many ways no longer fit for purpose & also subject to an occultist fantasy called Originalism.

Yep. And all these things reinforce each other -- corrupt electoral system & life-time court appointment can be seen to favor gerontocracy.
