Jerry Nadler's decision not to run for reelection has exemplified for Tropical Soulvangelical the Donkeys As The Party Of Ageism. So anyone who tries to tell him he's wallowing in the past for continuing to protest what happened to Biden 14 months ago, TSV will point to the Nadler situation as a counterpoint. Those of you who might not know, Nadler has said he's not running for reelection in order to conform to the Donkeys' apparent "demand" that he "step aside for the next generation," despite the fact that he's only 78. TSV's congresswoman is about the same age as Biden was last year when he was deposed as President, and he wants her to hang on until -she- feels ready to go, and not because some corrupt bureaucrats in the party try to bully her in looking at marketing trends as per the 18-35 demographic category, totally ignoring all those over 35 but not yet 65. TSV believes that the party truly doesn't believe there are -any- people that exist in the country that are between 35 and 65 except for "parents." When you're a parent, apparently, your age category can be waived, and no-one ever talks about how you're not 35 anymore. TSV remembers it used to be 18-25, but now we're tacking on age numbers as we go. What's going to happen when in a given race an 80 year old decides to run in a primary on the promise of fighting ageism and who's never run for public office? TSV predicts that the corrupt bureaucrats will try to dissuade said candidate for being "too old", hence confirming what that candidate is trying to tell people and run on. TSV has always seen Nadler as a bit of a wuss, and wonders how he was ever a chairman of a justice committee when you think of a peace-through-strength type cop, Nadler is the last person to come to mind. So maybe it's not a surprise that he readily gave into undue pressures of some sort, because TSV has never seen him as somebody who ever stood for anything. TSV isn't exactly a spring chicken himself, and -none- of us are getting any younger. At what age are we going to tell people that they can't run for public office, and will that age get younger and younger, and if we can prevent people from entering public service solely because of a number, what other things are we going to prevent them from doing in life? Hold down a job and try to pay the bills? Vote??? As TSV leans over my shoulder as the Happy Bachelor watching me write this base share, he just told me right now that he wants to find an anti-ageist action non-profit to make donations to as part of his True Activism. Such a thing stands in opposition to the pseudoactivism he blasted the other day as the kind of wuss Nadler himself is, and is promulgated against by the concept of (see below, and no, Nadler is not going to be looking out of a window with a gun in his hand any time soon as per the ascii art)...
