    Jeet Heer Retweeted Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

    The simple existential reality is that Ocasio-Cortez is likely to live through 40 or 50 more years of climate change than Pelosi. That creates a different sense of urgency.https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1076894689352142848 …

    Alexandria Ocasio-CortezVerified account @AOC
    The age difference between myself + oldest House members is ~60yrs. For better or worse, young people will live in the world Congress leaves behind. That’s why I focus on our future: addressing climate change & runaway income inequality, ending school-to-prison pipelines, etc.

        Age matters. But not for Bernie Sanders. Yikes. I wouldn't go down this road.

        Pelosi has children and grandchildren. I sure care more about my kids than myself. Jesus, what a terrible take.

        Hot take. If Pelosi only cared about herself, she’d be a Republican.

        There should be some young congresspeople and some old ones. But the balance should be more even, and seniority shouldn't concentrate all the power in people over 70.
