There should be a cutoff age for politicians. Man’s in his mid 70s, he should be at home enjoying his family, not acting as an anchor on the “fascism is actually bad” party.
The geriatric out of touch pushovers aren’t going to term limit themselves out of office, they won’t pass a term limit. It’ll require a full purge of these geezers with younger politicians to be able to get that passed. Unless we get an influx of younger candidates willing to implement term limits, we’re stuck like this.
Of course they won’t, there are very few Cincinnatti amongst us, and the nature of power and money is that it tends to accumulate over time. I don’t know how any society gets out of the trap of gerontocracy.

Why would you wish that on Schumer’s family? What have they done to you???
It’s not malice, just harm minimization! I’d rather a smaller group suffer than everyone.
