    The stigma of primary challenges exists because old guard Dems want everything to run off seniority, because they have the seniority.

    And you could kind of make that argument when it was capping out at 30 years experience.

    Biden has been in the federal government for about half a century.

    When there’s no cap to age, people hang around waiting for their turn, which clogs senior positions and prevents you get generations from getting experience.

    It all comes down to old people refusing to step aside for the next generations, and those old people all agreeing that they should hold onto power till they die in office.

    They won’t step aside, so for the good of the party, they need to be set aside.

    Voters are more important than any party. We don’t need them, they need us.
