      If the Democrats were a serious political party aiming at power (instead of a job program for insiders), they would think about how Feinstein's hug of Lindsey Graham hurt them with down ballot voters.pic.twitter.com/0sIaIIk884

      A serious political party that aims to govern always puts the interest of the party ahead of individuals: they retire the old and recruit the young. When a member doesn't serve the party, they get booted. Look at what the Tories did to Thatcher.

      It's amazing to think that in the years when the GOP consolidated a super-majority in the Supreme Court through ruthless gaming of the system, the Democratic leader on judicial issues was someone who, for sake of her own health, should have retired.

      What is a political party? Is it a jobs program with seniority for long-time members? Or does it have a set of principles it seeks to advance, which can be served by retiring those too old to serve and actively recruiting the young?

          Beyond this photograph, consider the fact that the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett was a big deal, that Feinstein's inept handlings of the hearings were so bad that Barrett's approval rose markedly. Consider how that impacted Senate races.pic.twitter.com/GvGZirya7e

          It is not ageist. It's performance.

          What is considered “old” and “young” is somewhat subjective

          The Democratic Party is the only serious forum for new policy ideas in America, and it is limited to internal debates because the levels of power are controlled by an elite who ensure they take care of themselves before all else. Those ideas can’t become force.

          Enough with the age-ism. Last I checked, age discrimination is (rightly) still prohibited by Federal statutes. And there are plenty of senior officials who are more effective leaders than much younger folks. Cognitive decline, though, is cause for concern.

          The only people pissed off by Feinstein's hugging Graham we're DC bubble dwellers and Wokesters who don't understand anyone who doesn't wish their political opposition dead.

          My political opposition wants me dead. The Republican Party will deny me health care, ignore climate change, and encourage police and vigilante violence against protestors. It is life and death for me and my friends. But not for Fienstein, Schumer, Pelosi.

          You wrote all this because of a hug that basically nobody ever saw or even heard about? And you think you understand what’s wrong with the Democratic Party?
