Yeah but that just incentivizes them to move the retirement age up
isn't this because so many parts of the US are totally safe seats that are gerrymandered to fuck which means you end up with these loyalist dinosaurs that follow the party line
that's a very colourful description
GenX here. I remember the period we were all figuring out our values and politics, trying to get our ideas passed and bring told (essentially) to just wait our turn. And still pushing and pushing and being ignored, then the realization that they weren't going to give up willingly and still being patient. And then eventually realizing that everything was just going to skip over us entirely. I'm sorry we didn't get the chance to leave a better world for everyone else. We did try, we were just outnumbered.
Whenever I see Moscow Mitch, I get sad that republicans foiled Obama's totally real plans to create death panels. So many wasted hospital visits...
