I understand why Lee is so incensed that Newsom isn’t putting her in the seat (which would basically guarantee her winning in 2024), but honestly why is she running for a six year Senate term in her late seventies?
She wants to be the next Diane Feinstein.
Nancy’s running for re-election as well. These old fogies just won’t step down.
Major props to Mitt for enjoying the later years of his life.
It’s American brain rot. We devote our lives to our jobs to the exclusion of everything else; family, friends, hobbies, personal projects, etc. If other jobs were as easy and fulfilling as being a Senator no one would retire.
No. They’re just selfish boomers who won’t let other generations have a seat at the table. Judy like housing.
lol you think younger people will be any different?
This is American, not generational.
I think young conservatives are more likely to believe in climate change. Fox brought it up during the first debate. They may be nuts, but they are more realistic than many of those who have no skin in the game.
I think they’re going to turn into ecofascists. Solar panels, electric cars, border walls, eugenics, and genocide.
Butler will be the only Black woman serving in the U.S. Senate, and the first openly LGBTQ person to represent California in the chamber.
The long-serving Democratic senator died last Thursday after a series of illnesses. Butler leads Emily’s List, a political organization that supports Democratic women candidates who favor abortion rights. She also is a former labor leader with SEIU 2015, a powerful force in California politics.
She seems like a good appointee, but honestly I’m just glad to have two functioning senators in my state now.
Yeah, let’s get back to appointing judges ASAP.
