    “I’ve got some news: I’ve decided to run against Nancy Pelosi to represent San Francisco in Congress. I know some of you might be surprised that Speaker Emeritus Pelosi is running again, but she is—for her 21st term!” Chakrabarti’s post read.

    I fucking hate boomers in political office. They refuse to let go of the reins. They want to hold on until death. Selfish.

    I saw a video last year asking people in the UK about USA politics and someone commented how old our leaders are.

      Pelosi is actually older than Boomers. She’s 6 years too old to be a Boomer.

      She was born in 1940.

      Fuck fuck’s sake. We need age limits for every government position.

    Critical for the center-left. If Dems in SFO can’t get it together and admit pelosi’s worth is more as a stock portfolio to copy and less for any good she can do politically, it’s a sign of how much worse it has to get before the broader center left awakes.

    Socially liberal but economically SFO pretty center leaning hard right in tech now. Hope primaries destroy her and force democratic party bloodbath long since needed.
