    Too fucking bad… boo hoo… Time for the fossils to GO!

    (And I’m a 'boomer myself, and can’t stand how out of touch and backwards looking most of my generation is… GTFO you old coots! FFS buy some beer and rent a boat and go fishing and do something worthwhile with what time you have left!)

      and some form of ranked voting.

      And maybe some form of nation-wide recall systems to deal with the fettermans of the world.

    Older Dem here, eagerly waiting generational change. Bring in AOC, bring in Bernie, bring in the Squad, I can’t wait!

    Older Dems: we want younger people to be more engaged in politics, the more younger people that vote, the better we do.

    The population: we want younger people to be Democrats instead of old people.

    Older Dems: when we said we wanted younger people, we didn’t mean like that.

    Establishment Dems need to make way for younger and more progressive incumbents. It’s clear that they will continue to cling to power until they die before doing so though.

    Green and Menefee will go to a runoff in May. Green swatted away questions about the age factor on Wednesday, declaring, “I am generational change.”

    Yeah, I’m gonna go ahead and say when you find yourself paraphrasing mother fucking Emperor Palpatine it’s time to stop being a senator

    Cool, older Dems!

    We’re sick of you still being alive, please do something good for once in your lives and fucking die.

    I’ve always wanted the age of government office to be tied to the average age of stroke/heart attack in your state. Your ass is out at that age unless you can bring that number down through comprehensive healthcare reform.
