The first step for the candidates running in next year’s California Senate race is to quietly try to spook newly appointed Sen. Laphonza Butler into not running at all.

If she actually runs it’s going to be clear that this was all meant to stop Barbara Lee from winning.
Silly progressives. Haven’t you learned your lesson yet?
Barbara Lee is 77 years old. We don’t need any more senior fucks in congress.
🙄
The problem isn’t old people, it’s old people with bad politics.
No, the problem is the assload of old people who have no idea how the modern world works, no clue why the LGBT+ is so upset, and no intent to do anything other than enjoy their state sponsored retirements. We need younger congresspeople.
There are old people who support LGBTQ+ people and causes. There are young people who oppose them. That is what matters.
I dgaf how old someone is if they vote the way I want them to. This is ageism.
Half the country is screaming for age limits on politics, so yeah, call it ageism. We don’t need more dementia in politics. We don’t need more politicians stroking out at the podium due to age-related illness. We need new blood. We need a monumental shift in politics that the elderly cannot lead, because they are direct products of the old system.
Ageism is idealistic.
Young people aren’t inherently better than old people, you’re completely misunderstanding the problems with American politics. The old people in power now were in power when they were young and they were bad back then too! We need better politics, not better blood.
People like you vote for losers like Pete Buttigieg lol
Maybe. I don’t know. That’s definitely possible. Butler was an odd choice that’s for sure.
Why do progressives think they’re entitled to everything though?
Not everything, but the Senate position for the most progressive state in the country, that seems fair. Due to the way the Senate was designed progressives are underrepresented. There are probably more progressives in California then the whole population of a couple smaller states combined, and they get no representation. Harris at least gave a little before she shifted right to try and become president, but now even she’s gone.
