Does this mean we could finally have a representative under the age of 1000? No we’re just going to elect another dinosaur that thinks homes still cost a nickel? … okay
apparently the leading bet for a replacement is only 77.
The front runners in the primary are Katie Porter (49), Adam Schiff (63), and Barbara Lee (77). All three are currently in the house of representatives.
So long as people retire when they start to go downhill mentally, peoples positions are much more important than their age. Most progressives would much rather have President Bernie (82) than President Tulsi Gabbard (42).
Lee has been pretty consistently progressive. She was the only vote against the authorization of force after the September 11th attacks, she was a founding member of the congressional LGBTQ+ equality caucus, and volunteered with the Black Panther Party’s Community Learning Center in Oakland as a teen. She's one of the most progressive Democrats in the House.
Any of those three would be great! Adam Schiff kicked ass on the impeachment and the Jan 6th committee.
So California's death spiral will continue uninterrupted. Thank the founding fathers for the electoral college!
The senate has literally nothing to do with either the electoral college or state policies?
Thank fucking God! That's my whole point.
oh neat
Ecstatic!
