    “I’ve got some news: I’ve decided to run against Nancy Pelosi to represent San Francisco in Congress. I know some of you might be surprised that Speaker Emeritus Pelosi is running again, but she is—for her 21st term!” Chakrabarti’s post read.

    I fucking hate boomers in political office. They refuse to let go of the reins. They want to hold on until death. Selfish.

    I saw a video last year asking people in the UK about USA politics and someone commented how old our leaders are.

      Pelosi is actually older than Boomers. She’s 6 years too old to be a Boomer.

      She was born in 1940.

      Fuck fuck’s sake. We need age limits for every government position.

          She’s too busy making sure no actual left-leaning politicians ever make it through to higher office within the Democratic Party. The only time I have ever seen the Democrats move decisively is to stamp out even a hint of progressive rhetoric. And that comes straight from crones like Pelosi.
