@faraiwe Not what we're talking about here. YOU said "the #gerontocracy of the #dmeocraticparty needs gone.."

That is diff than saying someone barred the young from leadership.

Yours was a blanket statement about older Dems (which you spelled wrong.. might want to change that)

So we're discussing 2 different things here.

1: Nobody should be barred from leadership for age. That's not why the olds are barring them. They hate Progressives, not youth.

2: Age shouldn't be a factor for anything

@GottaLaff the #gerontocracy of the #dmeocraticparty needs gone..

We don't want "strong worded letters" or legislation to address this", anymore. It never worked. WII we sent hundreds of thousands of ARMED people to take out nazis, not "strong worded letters".

We have a full #nazi #coup taking place and those old, useless, doddering imbeciles keep babbling about how to please their billionaire donors.

YOUNG, PROGRESSIVE, UNCOMPROMISING, BOLD, FIERCE leadership.

NOW.

Rep. Kay Granger, reportedly in assisted living, transferred home deed for $10

This is quite possibly a swindle and elder abuse. I wonder if she has a family or court appointed guardian and what their role is in this. Certainly, all of her aids participated in scamming her constituents by pretending that she is still functioning as an elected official. How many of them are part of this part of the con as well?

Ken Klippenstein · Missing Congresswoman Transferred Home Deed in JulyBy Ken Klippenstein

Wow. "A Republican congresswoman from Texas [Kay Granger] has not cast a vote in the US House since July while she has been living at a memory care facility – something she did not disclose to the public, according to a Dallas media outlet that figured out the reason for her prolonged absence."

Dr. Mom spent years as the medical director at a couple nursing homes during her career.

She has a lot of experience around geriatric patients.

She said the challenge with older folks is their defiance.

They revert to child-like states.

With defiant kids, you can force them to do something.

It’s not the same with defiant elderly folks.

She thinks Biden is being irrationally stubborn, which happens to a lot of older folks.
