When we say "politicians who don't give a shit about you", does that include 80+ year old men who are willing to throw our democracy away as long as they do their "goodest job"? All because they are addicted to power and can't imagine a world where someone is more electable than they are, despite overwhelming statistical evidence to the contrary?

And when we say "career politicians", does that include people that were elected to the Senate 60 years ago when they were in their 20s?

It's #Joever. Time to accept it and move on. Bending over backwards to defend him doesn't make you a hero, it makes you a useful idiot.

Dont forget the 80+ year old women who have had nothing but sheer utter, seething contempt for AOC and everything she stands for
