I'm pretty ready for that already... :) [Okay, I don't want a bunch of Dem leaders dying--I'd prefer that they retire instead, because they've been at least moderately effective in the past. But we need more people who can represent us in THIS space/time, like AOC, Jasmine, Bernie, Al Green, etc.]
Al Green has been gerrymandered out of his district by Gov Dr Evil, by the way. I can't help but think that was completely intentional, well beyond making it easier for Republiscum to win.
I wish we could normalize retirement. Without pensions, we all have to keep on going…
Bernard is very old, too, and there's many people in VT who could run to represent the state in Washington
that's true--I included him because he went out and hit the road, and has been tirelessly vocal about Trump et al. He's devoted a lot more energy to it than some prominent Dem leaders. (Officially he's not a Dem, of course, which is fine--loyalty for its own sake is largely useless against tyranny.)
