I'm way past sick of this fucking gerontocracy. The people determining the future should have a stake in it.
Kudos for using the word "gerontocracy".
I am proud of my vocabulary, but I don't know that I'm unique in my use of the word. Thanks, in any case!
They do, in the Democratic primary.
Where they keep voting for Feinstein.
The primary system is institutionalized insanity. This is why our choices devolve into Weekend at Bernie's vs. a rapist Russian stooge.
Keep in mind that millions of people voluntarily vote for said rapist Russian stooge. The election system isn't the only problem here.
