Why Is This Man In Charge of Anything?

He is ripe for getting primaried. With the help of the Mamdani base, AOC has a decent chance. Maybe she could communicate it in a way that acknowledges his successes but asking him politely to retire.

because the democratic party is based on seniority, not performance. so the oldest who have been in the govt the longest have the most power.

the republicans aren’t beholden to this model of ‘seniority first’ so they tend to have younger leadership.

Because he is an old white HOA cookie cutter politician who will safeguard the old way just like the rest of the democrats and republicans
