Everything is a psyop. That's why nothing happens. Everything for a long time in politics has not been about authenticity or actual service. Its a fucking psyop for a power grab.
Politicians at the federal level are all pretty much fucked up save for a few young ones who are still going through the corruption process.
What happens to AOC when she hasn't done shit and still goes on her little Bernie Sanders style tours after he dies for the next 30 years? The problem with the AOCs of the world isn't that she should fuck off its that she can't get anyone else on her side, she's too small to say hey we need more people like me and I'm gonna campaign with them, because she represents some new Yorkers in the house with 430+ other chucklefucks. She has no shot at a Senate seat.
Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand aren't going anywhere for another 10-20 years. They will die in those Senate seats.
That's what's wrong with not only the party, but any position of power or money in the US - people are too fucking greedy to just ride out their turn and get the fuck off the ride. There's no reason you should be in the Senate for more than 2 terms, find something else to fucking do.
Same thing for CEOs - hang it up after a cycle. Fuck off with your money and do something else.
