She promised to serve out her term! yet another politician breaking promises. SMDH

So has she finally retired from Congress?

Because with how adamant she was at staying in her seat despite being unable to do the job, I would not be surprised if they tried to go full Weekend at Bernie's here.

Everyone is like, she should’ve retired… But WHY!? People kept voting her in, she has all this power, all this money/control, top of the line health care, etc., etc. Who would ever leave that!? Unless you’re not a psychopath narcissist after knowing how freaking different the “1%” live?

Same thing with RBG.

Only thing that will change are the rules. And good luck with that…

I kind of wish it was at least normative to groom your successor and bow out if you're a ground-breaking leader as you advance in age

I especially wish that was the sort of thing had been the case with (for example) RBG because let's face it, it really hurt us for her seat to go to ACB

she voluntarily spent time with the likes of Ron Johnson and Ted Cruz rather than her grandchildren, for decades..... So question is, how terrible are her grandchildren?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

They're probably great considering she had nothing to do with them.
