Feinstein isn't the only problem here. In fact the 118th Congress average age is the third oldest since 1789 .
I cannot understand why people continue voting for the same incumbent year after year. Not once have I voted for the a politician, then thought to myself in the next election "they listen to me and deserve my vote again". I refuse to vote twice for any politician unless I actually believe they care about the average person and I'll be honest that has never happened. Maybe I just grew up in the wrong era and didn't get to appreciate these politicians when they were in their prime twenty years ago?
I just don't get it. Are we voting based on a popularity contest of names we recognize on the ballot with a D or R next to their name? How f*cking pathetic. Look across the asile, both ways - maybe there's someone decent out there. Unlikely, but maybe they're better than the current guy who's been there for thirty years.
Politicians like diapers should be changed often, and for the same reason.
