Pelosi ? Anyone
My personal theory is that they stay in to protect themselves against the corruption and wrongdoing they’ve committed on their way up the ladder and while in office. They can’t “quit while they’re ahead” and retire like the rest of us would do, because it would be all too easy for their enemies and successors—aspiring or actual—to throw them under the bus for their own benefit, and they can’t cover their six without the power of their office.
To me this also helps explain their increasingly short-term and erratic thinking behind policies, like zero-interest-rate policies, printing money, and committing economic destruction in the name of Covid...for the gerontocracy at the top, this “propping up” of the status quo doesn’t have to be supportable for the future generations, it only has to outlast THEM.
Now they want to euthanize their office holders.
Dead democrats HAVE WON at least two elections - one for the Missouri Senate back during Bush’s term. A second more recently.
The world is a slightly better place now. Though Hell must be getting full.
Serious question here: Once the Old Guard passes on, can the young bomb-throwers fool the public enough to garner majorities on a national scale (by fooling “Independents”)?
If there were so many stupid voters Deep State wouldn’t have to steal elections.
Just something folks might want to keep in mind.
I was a high school senior when my US Representative was first elected. Today I’m retired and on SS and Medicare and he’s still there, running for reelection next year.
SCOTUS, too.
Term limits.
Senator Dianne Feinstein is 88 years old and has been in cognitive decline for several years. To the extent Chuckie
Schumer has talked to her on different occasions pleading with her to resign. She refuses.
So refreshing to see a Republican who fights!
I think they’re being set up by the Old Guard to take the fall once the collapse begins.
