Whether it is Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) resuming her duties amid an internal Democratic rebellion against her just last month or the numerous times President Joe Biden has fallen off stairs or onstage, the Democrats have an age problem that they are conveniently willing to ignore.
Although Feinstein’s declining health and cognitive abilities have often been a topic of debate for members of Congress on the opposite aisle, it was indeed surprising to see members of her own party calling for her resignation.
While former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dismissed these calls by trying to give them an anti-feminist lens, asking why old men have never been asked to step down in the same way, it is concerning that she chooses to turn a blind eye not only to the senator’s age problem but the fact that the public has repeatedly expressed concerns over Biden’s capabilities to remain in office, owing to the fact that his formerly occasional gaffes have now turned regular.
But America has seen this way too many times. It was a few years ago now that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez started her loud movement against Pelosi with calls for a new generation of leadership in the party. To her disappointment, her concerns were met with no heed.
Dictatorial-style silencing within the party has proved to be costly to them. Whether this is just the liberal elites of Washington trying hard to keep a hold onto their power or Democrats trying to save face, America wants nothing to do with it. The country continues to ask how much longer the Democratic Party plans to continue maintaining its deafness against valid concerns around people in positions of great power, but Biden’s 2024 reelection run is the only answer received to date.
