Stole the house seat from AOC. Call me Gerry Atric.
DNC death numer three. That's a Gerry Hattrick.
Replaced with someone over 70? You know the party's Democratic
I would read your book of poetry

So she'll be replacing him, right?!
Or did Democrats just shit themselves in the for again and that seat will now remain empty like they did with that cryptkeeper lady from California who wasn't even different enough to go to Congress and do her job
They will just hand it to the guy he named in his place "temporarily" and refuse to have new committee elections
Stay classy, telling a reporter to “kill yourself” for factually reporting on Connolly publicly announcing his cancer diagnosis.
Why does the party value fealty and seniority so implicitly? There’s a place for the ‘elder statesman’ voice to share institutional wisdom and tribal knowledge, but this man cannot seriously have had more vigor and energy to pour into leadership than someone under half his age…

Whats with these old fucks not stepping down and enjoying what little they have left of their lives. Same with biden
They’re literally unable to do anything else except remain in their protected little cocoons arguing with each other while people fawn over them and pay them for their favor.
They’re like the minor peerage of old. All trying to hang on to their name and title to keep their ego afloat.

These assholes are so scared of losing power and corporate money they're willing to drop fucking dead on the floor of Congress rather than let the new generation take over.
Fuck these boomer assholes.

So we'll have someone with fresh ideas on how to stop Trump now, right?
Who will below retirement age, and support major refreshment of polices and politicians, right?
And actually do something this time, instead of thinking out loud and acting like that is the same thing as doing something, right?
...Right?
No, next they'll get someone who's...

Geriatric democrats trying to keep their grip on their right wing agenda.
thanks pelosi, you lich. i hope they find your phylactery.
This is literally the epitaph of the Democratic party.
The Democrats are like ancient kings who killed their children for fear of usurping their rule. Now the enemy is at the gates and they have no generals, the few champions they do have were cowed long ago.
Almost.
Establishment democrats are still living great lives under trump. They're not enemies because trump doesn't fuck with their money, unlike Bernie.
It's the working class that has to suffer.
lead to a vote gap in the Budget bill allowing republicans to pass it. Insane!
Gotta love how they push for old bastards to die in office to enable Republican goals, instead of helping the progressives who are on their side.
I'm sure its just a coincidence that it happens constantly.

It's insane to think it wouldn't have passed anyway... They would have "found" a dem to flip, they always do.
There will always be a manchin, or a sinema, or a fetterman... Or a Cory fucking Booker who voted to confirm papa kush

This is HORRIBLE! There's only So Many OLD WHITE GUYS WITH CANCER we can Appoint to IMPORTANT ROLES before we have LITERALLY NO CHOICE but to Concede LITERALLY EVERY RACE to the Republicans!
Schumer, pelosi, Ginsburg, and all the other fossils who refuse to retire until they fucking die are just as responsible as the orange piece of shit is for the current state of amerikkka
No, they are not. False equivalence just takes the focus off the people who really are responsible. Trump, his enablers, and his supporters created this disaster.
A lot of useless Democrats failed to stand up and try to stop it. They have much to answer for, but they are in a different category.
My guy, they are part of the enablers
It was a system of checks and balances, but the Democrats went along with consolidating power. So while yes, they aren't the direct cause, they were the adults in the room and they failed in that responsibility.
Ahh, Mr. Guy whose turn it was next.
Glad he got to try being useless in an important position before he died.
When Alexander the Great died, his empire devolved into infighting and instability. Why would he plan for his successor at such a young age?
These democrats dying in office, leaving no protege nor successor in the wings, are doing the same thing to America but they have no excuse.
These ancient centrist fucks are the reason we're in this mess. We don't want their proteges in power. We need new blood that will fight instead of trying to maintain the status quo.
True, look at Pelosi's choice to succeed her, Hakeem Jeffries. I thought he seemed good at first but he's turned out to be just another hand-wringing wimp. So it's not simply a matter of being too old, it's a matter of clinging to the old ways.
edit: IOW, getting younger people in is necessary but not sufficient.
But guys, it was his turn! Just like Hillary in '16. Forget what the people want, we need to worry about stroking egos here.
