This. Fortunately, there don’t seem to be too many prominent younger Democrats that are useless squishes.
I suspect that’s because the younger Democrats have reasons for going to Congress other than, ya know, just going to Congress. They have things they want to accomplish and they don’t worry so much about losing their jobs because they are doing what they were elected to do.
Older Democrats, and Republicans for that matter, have been playing the game for so long that playing the game is all they know. I imagine them starting each day checking focus groups to see what they should say on camera today. ‘What should we do to piss off the least number of people?’
