i’m relieved democrats chose connolley over AOC for house oversight committee leadership. a 74 year old geriatric with throat cancer is just the young and blossoming leadership the democratic party needs

given the oversight committee pick, looking forward to our new democratic leaders and their bold, wise, established leadership going forward. and my inability to escape 2016.
realtalk if the two party system wasn't so vehemently enforced by the simple fact of "we have more money than everyone else and we're getting paid more to keep everything stagnant" we'd be in a much better position. the democratic party is useless bc they too benefit from oligarchs
That they chose someone who literally has throat cancer is what gets me. like. As a cancer survivor there is no guarantee he will be here in a few years
Slamming the door on the future and catching my own dick in the door but it's not their turn, they have to wait their turn, so I keep slamming and slamming the door on my dick until I pass out.
There’s gerontocracy, but tbh, I feel like “Senior Citizen Senate” or “Retiree Republic” get the point across better. Gerontocracy sounds too distinguished.
Like I know necropolitics is actually referring to a different process but it kinda feels like it's pulling double duty here (a bunch of the walking near-dead ensuring the rest of us never get close to power)
I resent your generalizations. I’m 73, in better shape than many younger than I, possess the wisdom that comes with that and the resolve to endure that which freaks out the less seasoned.
Everyone is different. Judge people by what, who they are and what they do.
Are you racist and sexist as well?
Because we don't treat these things as jobs. The powerholders are forcing a superstition, composed of loyalty and a can-kicking response to change. Being nearer death makes "I got mine" an easier philosophy, but no serious enterprise would fill its posts with so much incompetence and flaccidness.
They'll never forgive her for not earning her position by coming up through the CIA / McKinsey and spending her youth on an undisclosed island being a pool girl for Bill Clinton.
Smart to give an up and comer like him this position because now he can use it to help elevate his national profile in preparation for a 2028 White House run.
Exactly, she sold herself out time and time again, pushed hard for another decrepit old bag to be president and she got rightly fucked over. AOC isn't fit to wield power, and apparently would sell out anything in the name of "pragmatism".

She's not blooded.
Just what we need to stand up for democracy
