The Crisis That Never Ended

Why is it that the Siilents, old and increasingly feeble as they are, are still in prominent positions of power?  Why haven't the younger generations stepped up to the plate (in a meaningful way--not the mad king and his circle of sycophants).

Well, the mad king is a Boomer; the Silents are all Dems. And there seems to be some aura of high-regard that circles Nancy Pelosi, so she's in for the duration. But let's be honest about Bernie too. He's great in the Grey Champion role, but he has no business being the leader of the free world. It's hard to say who does at this point. This needs to pass to someone who clicks with the young, but isn't geriatric him/herself. EW could have been that person, but her candidacy fell flat and stayed that way. Most of the others are either too centrist for the times or need to wait for the times to need them (Pete Buttigieg being the prime example -- he'll be a great 1T President).

I would vote for Cuomo. He's scrapper who hates Trump to the marrow of his bones. Winning is almost everything this time, but the win has to mean something too. AT least Cuomo is able to say that people come first without it sounding like a commercial.
