Begs the question, what is the new generation gonna do

The other question is had they been prepped by the previous generation?

Crazy had she won the Houston mayor’s race she would have died in office.

With the way the previous generation shyt on them publicly and behind the scenes, the answer is no.

Considering she belongs to the Silent Generation, the torch should’ve been passed to a new generation some time ago.

 

[CrushedGroove]

Woke up to this today and was immediately saddened. She's been a part of what Houston is, in regards to politics, for as long as I can remember.

Condolences to her family.

 

[North of Death]

Well with sellouts and half steppers like yourself, not much.

I'm a sell out because I dare question the norm...OK buddy

That generation prefers to die with fake power...Maxine Waters, Jim Clyburn, etc should all retire

Baby Boomer, actually but I agree. The old guard don't want to give up power and are typically behind the times as far as progressive policies

Unless they are grooming one of their children, passing the torch directly doesn't occur much in politics.
Official spends an entire career building base of donors, voters, media people, colleagues, and networks. The longer they stay in office, the more power and influence they hold. Technically that name/last name recognition, after many years in office, could help their kids.

Also, older people are the ones who vote. Young people do a lot of performative politics, but don't really show up to the polls. Harder for younger politician to break through and take the torch

Isn’t that the older generation for giving younger voters a reason to do so though?

It doesn’t take rocket science to figure how and where to vote

I say no.
At the end of the day, they tally votes in elections. Not likes, mentions, hashtags, or views.


People who say they are working for change shouldn't lose sight of that.

And that's why this country is in the shytty situation that it's in now and the younger generation being tasked with fixing the fukk up's and the ramifications of the people before them.
