This isn’t the final season. Season 5 has been ordered and is in production now. That will be the final season.
Gotta say, it is distressingly surprising how many people want to blame anyone but the single most poker full person on earth, who actively sought this job after decades being one of the most powerful politicians in America, and made promises to get that job that he is now breaking. It is young voters fault for not…
They’re the age group most likely to work wage-slave schedules that make something like primary voting difficult, and we are expecting many of them to plan and arrange to participate in primaries that are often their very first voting experiences of their lives. I don’t like spreading this “young people apathy”…
Could it also be that the President’s powers are also semi-vague and presidents from Teddy Roosevelt to Trump found ways to get their agenda pushed through and at times deliberately bypassed Congress to do so?
More likely his approval rating is tanking because people fully understand the implications of the phrase “Bully Pulpit” despite it not appearing in any ‘official’ role of the President and see the President absolutely refusing to use it in any capacity.
I mean, he’s delivered on nothing. At all. My little sister was out when she saw the gemming and hawing on student loan forgiveness. Especially since the public service loan forgiveness program still denies damn near all applicants who worked at lower paying govt. jobs with the promise of student loan forgiveness.
Admittedly I was a bit flippant, but there are plenty of things they can do other than die in office. Former President Carter has been working with Houses for Humanity well into his 90s. And I’m not suggesting that they couldn’t be involved with consulting with their former colleagues in office, working to elect…
If you’re older than 70 and you’re in charge of something important, you should be well and deeply into the process of handing authority off to the next generation. If not, WTF are you doing? Goodness knows, YOU are probably very fit and will live forever. But shit! statistically you are into the “could die at any…
another reminder of the need for both term limits and age limits in all 3 branches of government, federal and state. I know this is a hopeless pipe dream in our current hyperpolarized environment where every single Democratic proposition no matter how logical or helpful is reflexively shot down by the GQP, but Cocaine…
While we’re on the subject, Ted Cruz seems to be declining as well. Did you see him at the Supreme Court nomination hearings? Kept asking unrelated questions, hardly seemed aware of where he was or what the hearings were actually for, so confused he was angry. I think the only compassionate move would be to get him…
Of course it isn’t sexist.
I was shocked she held it together as well as she did during the KBJ hearings, as she was obviously horrible during some of the recent supreme court confirmation events.
What does it say about the kind of people who run for, and are elected to these offices, that they can’t step aside and advise or be a resource to the younger generations. No, they have to stay in charge. They must be the ones there and everyone else isn’t capable.
I realize that these two things will NEVER happen, but we should have age limits for political offices as well as term limits. We have too many people, on both sides of the aisle, making a career out of being a Senator or Congressman. I hate it when we celebrate someone for being in office for 30 or 40 years.
SCOTUS age limits, too!
Say it with me: Age limits for all politicians as it is what’s best for the nation. While we’re at it, term limits too!
Strom Thurmond, anyone?
Yo, 32 year old progressive millennial here. Ranked choice voting, term limits, wreck lobbying, and force anyone in government to only be paid their state’s median income, along with with the same health care/benefits afforded to people of their state. You’ll start to see change really quick. Thanks. #comeatmebro
Honestly, there are easy ways that this could be addressed. Mental status exams - the type given to elderly people when trying to determine whether they are safe to continue living independently - should be administered to all members and candidates every two years, and if you score moderate impairment or worse,…
