Where are the yoots?
In 2012 I hoped that the relatively young and popular Obama would reboot our generation counter. He won two elections easily and cleanly against OLD Repooflicans, without any nonsense about hanging chads or disputed votes or faithless electors. You'd think both parties would want to replicate that type of easy victory leading to solid political capital. Nope. It didn't happen. Trump and Hillary are Boomers, and now Trump and Biden are Boomers. Biden is obviously senile. Among the collapsed fake candidates, only Tulsi is genuinely young. Bernie is older than Biden but still mentally sound.

The best guess is that young politicians simply don't want to get anywhere near the incomprehensibly monstrous grotesque blackmail-driven top level. They're close enough to see how it works, and they recoil in revulsion. Just waiting for the monsters to die, which is the only way change happens in a totally fucked dynasty-based lunacy like science or politics.

An instructive example occurred here in the 99999th circle of Hell. Normally a Governor and Lieutenant Governor run on the same ticket, and normally the Lt has some "official" duties while he makes his bones with the Party. In this case the Lt was a completely unknown and obscure young non-politician who never got in the news, and he left the state several months before the "election". Apparently he moved Southeast to a sane state and started graduate studies at a seminary. Nobody noticed.

I don't blame him. Living in the same state with a superdemon like Inslee is beyond all limits of horror and terror. I can't imagine what it would be like to deal with Mad Bomber Inslee occasionally.

.... Well, no, I CAN imagine. I shared a jail cell with a psychopath for several months in 1969. I do know what it's like, and that's why I don't blame the Lt Gov for getting out while the getting's good.
