Every day, some annoyance begs the question, “How is this still a thing?” From superfluous charges attached to normal transactions to absolutely predatory social media stars, there is a long list of norms that are way beyond their expiration date. So the new year is a good time to sit down and take stock. 

Someone asked the internet “What should die in 2024?” and folks shared all the things that need to remain in the past. So get comfortable as you read through, upvote your favorite examples, and share what you hope is going to finally die out this year in the comments section below.

Everybody needs to get out and vote, this includes all you young voters. Quit sitting on the sidelines whining about the outcome of each election cycle. As added measure, term limits wouldn't hurt.

Finally, someone else took up the chorus! Barack Obama began an entire movement that washed him into the White House and the folks that do all the bit¢hing need to emulate it. For starters, put down the phone, tablet, etc and go vote!! Get involved in the things you feel that need changing. That gets your fingers in the pie, when you belong to an organization that answers back to those in power and holds their feet to the fire, folks remember who you are. That's how you get started, but count on it pretty much eating up your personal life because that's how it works.

There is an age minimum. Why ffs is there not a mandatory retirement age? Term limits and for God's sake why does the courts not have age limits and term maximums as well? This country is doomed to swim in it's s**t if we don't change the narrative. We'll never change the narrative unless we change the players. Possibly my biggest gripe with so called democracy.

Because people can be intelligent and productive right up until they die at age 90+. We already HAVE something that is supposed to screen out ineffective politicians: The voting booth. But we don't use it.

Career politicians should be the ones banned, if you think about it you’d hope that people got into politics due to their being a cause they believe in, so let’s just say for arguments sake that cause is help and provision for victims of domestic violence, once they’ve achieved that goal they should leave office as no matter what the next cause is they just aren’t going to care enough/the same about it as the cause that lead them to act.

No. This is a classic over-generalization. It makes no more sense than to say all young people are immature and inexperienced, and therefore shouldn't hold public office.

This is going to sound flippant but: come up with better ideas that people will vote for. That really is it. Tell people how you’re going to address issues important to them that won’t cost them their rights or freedoms or livelihoods. I realize that is a lot tougher than it sounds but that’s what it takes.

I think my dad said something about politics having always been a rich man's game. Reading the works of McCullough and others on colonial America pre-and-post Revolution, he wasn't wrong. Expanding voting rights during the 19th and 20th centuries drew in voters who weren't wealthy and we've managed to upset some very old 'apple carts'. Established wealth does NOT tolerate our interference in their game very well and are trying, via lobbyists, to push as many of us out as they can. We can't let them.

If you're over 65 you need to step aside and let those whose lives will be impacted by your actions be the ones running the ship. You also shouldn't be dictating what medical care I can and can't have because you believe you control my body. This is especially true for politicians that know absolutely nothing about women's bodies, don't believe in maternity leave, nor medical care, childcare, or the ability to feed or house all those unwanted babies, yet approve of legislation that allows those same babies to be graphically executed via a firing squad of one once they reach school age.

I'm not American and I cannot believe that the best that country can come up with in the next run to the most powerful job on the planet is two old men, one of who made a complete disaster of his last time in the Oval Office and who demonstrates, every time he opens his mouth, how unqualified he is for *any* political office. Seriously, America? Is that all you have?

The problem isn't ageism. Plenty of old people are doing very well and getting lots of respect. The problem is that almost all of them are getting lots of respect because they're rich. It's all about rich vs. poor.

If your over 65 you should not be able to hold office. If I can't trust you to remember what you said at a meeting a week ago you should not be in a position of power. If someone else has to sort your medications you are a dependent that would not survive without competant supervision and have no place telling anyone to do anything just like a 10 year child. We literally have politicians that need more supervision then kids, these people should be written off as ineligible.
