I have to preface by saying that most of the time I find his commentary to be insightful....just not the one this Monday after Lindsey Graham's death.
First off, he of course, included the clip of Nancy Pelosi talking about Biden's age when Biden was kicking ass with a 50/50 Senate, more than when Obama was in office. And Biden's policy worked for young people (tuition forgiveness, extending child tax credit to lower child poverty for at least all 4 years of his term)
Secondly, our politicians are old because our electorate permitted it. All of these politicians could be voted out. People had a choice. We couldn't vote then out because... Guess what? Seniors vote reliably. Young people don't. These politicians reflect their base. Seniors!! They ain't gonna vote for young whipper snappers until the youngsters bring enough of their cohorts to the polls.
We only have ourselves to blame. Of course these politicians are not going to willingly step aside purely because of age. Who amongst us are willing to step aside when we think we are still capable? Heck, he's still hosting the show once a week!
I don't get the point of this diatribe. Bernie is not gonna step aside either when he still has the strength to get up to the podium.
All respects to Jon but it would help to analyze what we can do instead of just wishing that these guys can just leave.
