    I thought Pelosi was all about old farts getting out of the way and leaving room for the next generations.

      She IS an old fart refusing to get out of the way even though she has (in name only) relinquished control tp one of the 5 or fewer Democrats in Congress who exhibit even more disdain for the Left than she does herself.

      She’s older than Bernie ffs!

      Bernie who, probably partly because he was an elite athlete in his youth and still goes for a run every day, is roughly a decade or two sharper than most people around his age, including Pelosi.

        I think Pelosi is still sharp, she’s just out of touch. Could happen to people of any age, but decades in politics is not doing any favours.

        Bernie is very much not out of touch.

          Good point. I accidentally conflated the two related but very much distinct concepts 😁
