Edit: Downvoted for pointing out that the challenger is way younger than the incumbent?
Born 1947 vs 1988. It’s true.
Not to take anything away from Green’s accomplishments, but we really need younger people in govt!

I never want to hear about how [x] just can’t be done because it’s an election year. There are many examples of Republicans not heeding their own creed on just this factor alone. Redistricting in an election year while crowing about it for the other side is just gross.
The ultimate hypocrites.

APIAC should be banned from giving money to politicians along with every single dark money, PACS, lobbyists, and especially corporations.

Fuck AIPAC. I hate to the core all this goddamn victories sponsored by Netanyahu because it’s our tax money indirectly funding these Israel wins.

Whole situation sucks but I’m taking the 38 year old over a 78 year old.

He is 78 years old. He shouldn’t have been allowed to run anyway. We need age regulations to hold public office

good, dude was absolutely useless.

78? Lord all mighty, give it a rest. Let someone else do the fighting. Retire and enjoy your life.

He should take some time, rest up and go easy on himself so that when the time is right he will have the strength to walk proudly out into that yard and piss on Trumps grave. Maybe even drop a deuce on it the knees will allow.

just goes to show that Reddit is a progressive stronghold and you won’t get a real picture of the American mindset if all you read are these comments.

I actually think they’re both really great, the issue was that the GOP’s gerrymandering forced them into the same district this time around.

These political parties need to STOP running these insanely geriatric candidates. Force retire them and get people in that’ll actually be around to experience their policies.

Nobody in the Democratic Party or indeed in the entire American government learned one single thing from the Ginsberg debacle, like for instance that death-gripping your seat until you turn 500 and never grooming any kind of successor to build on your legacy is a bad idea. Green is one of the few people in Congress that I have something resembling respect for, but goddamn the dude was almost 80. He had to have known that this day was coming, in one form or another. He failed to prepare for it, and now we get some soulless crypto bro AIPAC shill taking his place. I have a sinking feeling that something similar is gonna happen with Bernie in Vermont in a few years.

Damn, all that performing for nothing
this just sucks all around.
Closing a 40 year age gap. Not bad.
