The d Party seems to have an age problem. Obviously Biden. The oldest Supreme. Old senators. It shows lack of foresight and also narcissism on the part of many. They should retire at the opportune time and they don’t.
We had ours too (McCain for instance). But I think we do better.
Narcissism is correct.
We are seeing world class sociopaths in action—the world is about me me me me me.
They believe they have a right to rule over the peons—forever.
_That_ is why the Democratic ancient ones won’t retire.
Both parties do, really.
It's the Boomer generation (to include their older siblings born during the war). They just think they're too important to retire.
The obama’s, Pelosi and the Clintons crushed any and all up-and-coming dem politicians in order to cling to their power, so the Dems are saddled with decrepit old has-beens. Sucks to be them!
