Holy crap America … you need an ancient wizard to tell you to get rid of the dinosaur in your midst?
I love Bernie Saunders and I think he’s great … but you really need to get some younger people into positions of power to get you through the next few decades or you’ll be thrown under the bus of more progressive countries around the world or else you’ll just fall under a total facist state because your elderly leadership was easily coerced.
Bernie Sanders is not running to be majority leader, but also Bernie Sanders clearly still has the fight in him, and there’s no reason for him to stop right now. If you watch the press conference this article is about, not only is he completely right, but he also presented this with Senator Elissa Slotkin, who is 50. Senator Jon Ossoff is 39. New Senators include Abdul El-Sayed, 42, Annie Andrews, 46, James Talarico, 37, and probably Scott Colom, 43.
Republicans win with the oldest senator, Chuck Grassley, 93, and the most vegetative senator, Mitch McConnell, 84.
I know he isn’t running for leadership … what I’m point out is that your leadership and even your spokespeople have to always be old people in positions of power … and it’s OK to have older wiser people in power but over the past few decades that idea has become farcical because you are being led by a government of 70 and 80 year olds
I think Sander’s knows he’s too old for leadership at this point. The man he is proposing for Majority Leader is 67, which is still old, but only a little bit above the average for the Senate, and quite a few years younger than the 85-y-o Sanders.

What I’m pointing out is that Millennials are taking over the Senate now

In my country 67 years is currently the retirement age. Seems wild that, that would be just slightly above the average age for the senate.
Same in the US and it is wild.
