    I understand why Lee is so incensed that Newsom isn’t putting her in the seat (which would basically guarantee her winning in 2024), but honestly why is she running for a six year Senate term in her late seventies?

        Nancy’s running for re-election as well. These old fogies just won’t step down.

        Major props to Mitt for enjoying the later years of his life.

          It’s American brain rot. We devote our lives to our jobs to the exclusion of everything else; family, friends, hobbies, personal projects, etc. If other jobs were as easy and fulfilling as being a Senator no one would retire.

            No. They’re just selfish boomers who won’t let other generations have a seat at the table. Judy like housing.

                I think young conservatives are more likely to believe in climate change. Fox brought it up during the first debate. They may be nuts, but they are more realistic than many of those who have no skin in the game.
