We are living in a gerontocracy. In both parties, the elderly cling to power, determined to decide the futures of younger people and blocking anyone who tries to prise their bony fingers off their safe seats.
But it’s perhaps safe to say the Democrats have this problem more than Republicans. Nancy Pelosi is 85, Chuck Schumer is 74, Richard Durbin is 80, Elizabeth Warren is 75, heck, even good ol’ Bernie Sanders is 84!
