    No.

    No, no, no, no, no!

    Is she looking at Feinstein and thinking “well, I don’t need to be propped up yet, so I should still be able to run the country!”

    I don’t care on which side of the aisle these oldies sit. They do not represent the will of a people who are largely younger than they are by two decades.

    No, she's looking at her and her husband's bank accounts and thinking "well, I don't need to be propped up yet, so I can continue to be grossly corrupt and get even richer"

    She is widely credited with marshalling the passage of former President Barack Obama's signature healthcare legislation, as well as bills to address infrastructure and climate change under incumbent President Joe Biden.

    Her big claim to fame...

    Getting republicans to vote for a more conservative healthcare plan than what the Republican candidate for president wanted to pass if he had won.

    It's fucking disgusting moderates still act like that was the finish line over a decade later and oppose any more improvement to it, while demanding we call them progressive for it.

    Although, once you're in your 70s, a decade probably feels like two weeks. Time flies when age related mental decline stops you from noticing the passage of time.

    Hey, they had to get rid of the public option part and gut the bill to get some republican support! Ignore the fact that it was still passed entirely from a down party lines vote with zero republican support. They had to make it a shitty gutted bill for some reason. It was such an accomplishment forcing everyone to get healthcare from multi billion dollar companies with fat profit margins.

    I respect older people, but at this age you really have no business being in high levels of government. Go retire and enjoy your life. If you want to, be an advisor to more junior members of congress. This wraithing is absurd.

    I'm in her district. This has given me a possibly-crazy idea. What if I registered to run against her? Hear me out.

    I don't think that I could win. She's been in the game for so long, I have no illusions. But, registering and announcing a campaign to challenge her might result in some national publication contacting me for a quote. I might be able to get a line in said publication and get people talking about it.

    "Nancy Pelosi should get out of the way of younger generations and let those who came after her have a seat at the table."

    I'd appreciate feedback on the value of doing something like this. Also, the likelihood that it would have the desired outcome. Also, thoughts on how this might be done.

    I've been kicking this idea around since this morning when I first saw this. I'm increasingly thinking that it sounds like a good idea. Thoughts?

    I think the local DNC would have to "allow" it. Otherwise you'd run as something-other-than-Democratic.

    But all it would cost you is time, and maybe a small filling fee to find out.

    I say, go for it! It would at least shake up the geriatric incumbents a bit.

    I’m angry at her, but more angry at the voters that reelect her. Get new blood into these positions.

    Fuck this horrible bitch. She fucking enriches herself via a marriage of her position and decision making with the stock market.

    Fucking disgusting, no fucking politician that votes on policy should be allowed to trade stocks.

    GET THE FUCK OUT AND STAY OUT YOU GERIATRIC FUCKING CORRUPT TRAITOR

    Stocks aren't going to inside trade themselves! Get out of the way you old cunt. Hopefully someone primaries her and the people in SF vote her out. Still worse to have a Republican in the seat but jfc this is infuriating.

    The fucked up thing is that people are still gonna vote for her. No one cares about corruption or acrually having good political leaders, they just need their team to win like it's some kind of stupid sport.

    She's not the worst, but as I was reading, I thought she was dead until I made it to "seeks re-election"...

    Whatever happened to “just fuck off to your third home in the Hamptons and become a philanthropist” retirement path for these people?

    HEY REPUBLICANS:

    I'm as left leaning as they come and this old bitch should retire. This is one of the many many many differences between us. All you care about is winning, like this is some type of fucking football game, and I care about is what's best for our country.

    Ugh get these dinosaurs out of office. I do not feel represented by someone who is a millionaire and over twice my age, they have no understanding of what my life is like or what I need.

    We seriously need age limits for elected officials, it's absolutely absurd to have an octogenarian in a position of authority like that.

    While we're at it, term limits for congress would be nice - 19 terms is absolutely ridiculous.
