MicroWaveDianne Feinstein went to the hospital after a 'minor fall' at home, spokesperson says
IwasondiggYour weekly reminder that there is a minimum age requirement to serve in the senate, but bo maximum, and that needs to change.
GrayI don’t even think this is necessarily an age issue. You can get Alzheimer’s at 50 too. To me the issue is a shameful unwillingness from Democrats to acknowledge Feinstein’s inability to fulfill her duties. Pelosi straight up called people sexist for suggesting Feinstein should step down. It’s despicable. If I was in California, I’d be pretty fucking mad right now that my senator was being used as a tool to advance other people’s interests by preying on her dementia.
Feinstein isn't the only problem here. In fact the 118th Congress average age is the third oldest since 1789 .
I cannot understand why people continue voting for the same incumbent year after year. Not once have I voted for a politician, then thought to myself in the next election "they listen to me and deserve my vote again". I refuse to vote twice for any politician unless I actually believe they care about the average person and I'll be honest that has never happened.
I just don't get it. Are we voting based on a popularity contest of names we recognize on the ballot with a D or R next to their name? How f*cking pathetic. Look across the asile, both ways - maybe there's someone decent out there. Unlikely, but maybe they're better than the current guy who's been there for thirty years.
