Neoliberals won't leave office, then vote them out in the primaries.
But right now no one is running against this dinosaur
Even if he had a primary challenger Democrats would elect him over a new face, even if they were more progressive, like they did with Cuellar in Texas
He needs to fuck off and retire
Reminder that he is pro-sexual predator via his endorsement of Andrew Cuomo!
Fucking disgusting, Fuck off and retire, why we should suffer so this demented fuck can hold power. He will literally die office how Fucking stupid.
I don’t understand why anyone eligible for a lifetime pension and benefits would keep working
What makes you think they do? If need be there is staff for that.
i hear that congress has good milk
While I disapprove of 85-year-olds running for government, I'm a few decades younger and have been losing my glasses on my face for decades.
Also looking for my phone with my phone in my hand. Just ADHD things.
Set phone down on dresser
Enter closet
Exit closet
Phone has vanished, never to be seen again
Text your SO asking if they've seen your phone.
I did something similar when I was 19 and shitfaced. I called my mom, telling her to contact my bank to block my card. And to contact my phone provider, because I'd lost my phone. I called her from my phone...
Hell, I used to lose my glasses on my face when I was 20.
I'm 30, I recently said out loud, "oh damn, I forgot my phone", while I was texting someone and did the pant pocket slap check only to find my phone wasn't in pockry.
I was staring at it as I said it.
Him being 85 is the concern, not a common lapse of item awareness.
Jim is aiming for one last goal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_members_of_the_United_States_Congress_who_died_in_office_(2000%E2%80%93present)
He could just die now and save himself a lot of trouble
There should be a new law requiring not just the party of a candidate in a ballot box but also their age.
i disagree. if you can't be bothered to do your research, you deserve the consequences of your vote.
I disagree the consequences of your vote should be readily apparent at the ballot box most easily indicated by the person's age
I disagree if you are uninformed you should not be aloud to vote at all.
91 at the end of that term. Insane
He's a Representative, not a Senator. So that's a two year term, not six.
Edit: still dumb though, and should get his ass primaried.
gerriatocracy
Bro ushered in the primary defeat of Bernie sanders by Joe Biden
same old same old
Primary his ass.
I see we learned literally nothing last year when like 3 old Democrats died.
Go fish something or write a Nobel price winning novel.
