    I don’t think seniority and ageism are the same thing, but a lot of proponents and opponents will take it that way. I think it’s really about how positions of leadership are parceled out based on time served.

      Seniority and ageism are not

      This isn’t about seniority. Its a blatant and bigoted ageism piece. Lipstick on a pig, but hey it’s just old people who have given their lives.

      Screw them. After x age they should go

      That’s what this, and you , are truly saying.

      Goof day

        At the moment they are pretty much the same thing. The big shitty bill passed the House because three House Democrats died in office so far this term. Is that not a problem?

        We would not have so much aged representation if the party didn’t put so much favor on seniority. We can have some old leadership, which is actually a good thing, but the party currently looks like a make a wish foundation for elderly politicians.
