(3,315 posts)... Nancy hounded Biden out of the presidential run because he was too old (Nancy's 2 years older than Joe), and for some reason, she hates AOC because she's too young. Never mind the fact that Ocasio Cortez is, without question, one of the smartest people in the whole goddam building.
Like a boxer that doesn't know when to retire until he gets his ass kicked, Pelosi doesn't want to admit it's time for her to step down. The Democratic gerontocracy (I'm older than most them!) has already proven that it is too far behind the curve to govern effectively, and resists new ideas, even though their own have failed. It's time for them to step aside. They still have a lot to contribute, but let it be in the form of guidance through the labyrinth of Congressional protocols, not shop-worn, my-way-or-the-highway, edicts that just don't work in this new political environment.
