This is a sentence that succinctly captures one of the fundamental and pervasive problems with modern Democratic politics:

“Nadler, 75, is all but guaranteed at least one more term in Washington in the solidly Democratic district while Maloney, 76, will be forced into an early retirement.”

Ross Barkan writing for New York Magazine

Maybe one day, in the far far future, Dear Leader Trump XXVI will allow a Democrat under 70 to run for and hold office in one of the indentured provinces. A person can dream.
