MF love boomers. Our governor was a strong 20 year run in office, most your senators have been in Washington since the 80’s-90’s. Yo these people die in their seats of power, thats how…
I suppose it’s the fault of the constituents for continuing to vote the same person in over and over again. Or is it that you don’t have any other choices?
It is not that there are not other possibilities. I don’t really understand how it’s now become fashionable on the left to now grumble and carp about “term limits” and engaging in lots of ageism, but what it is fairly obvious is the people doing the most complaining about it are not involved in running in primaries themselves.
I am also highly dubious of anything magical about term limits or having younger people in office.
In fact, I think it’s a rather obvious red herring to have everyone engage in some good old fashioned divide-n-conquer, this time divided along generational boundaries. In this particular redux, we now have social media to turbo charge things, instead of the boomers vs. the GI and Silent Generations, it’s now Gen Z and Gen Y pitched against boomers. Yawn. I guess it’s as predictable as the tides but the people this is mostly aimed at have not been around long enough to know the game.
The fact that so many seem to be fooled by this, especially on the supposed left? Definitely disappointing.
How TF do you have a 29 year incumbent??
Mitch McConnell has been a senator in Kentucky for 41 years. Its ridiculous that there are no term limits for these people.
Term limits should be something carried out at the ballot box.
There has never been a moment of my life he hasn’t cast a shadow over. I’m gonna need a few hospitals after celebrating
*was. Tbc.

Laziness. And fear of change.
No one’s stopping you from running. The DNC will campaign against you if you are socialist.
Well… The fact that I’m not a US citizen is a massive hurdle, for starters.
Touché. Well, go encourage the young socialist kids to run for Office.
Something I keep noticing is that many polling places are in the lobbies of nursing homes.
