I think what this points to is just a broader cultural problem within the Democratic Party's leadership class. When you're a public servant, the responsibility you have is to the American public. You affect hundreds of millions of lives in this country and around the world. That is an awesome responsibility.

That responsibility should dwarf whatever feelings you have about your own life and your own satisfaction. What you should be thinking when you wake up every day is, how can I maximize my choices to benefit the broader world given the How many people depend on my choices? And time and time again, old people in these jobs have chosen to put their own life satisfaction ahead of the broader good.

They've decided, you know, my life won't have as much meaning if I step aside and let some younger person take this job. That's what Ruth Bader Ginsburg decided. That's what Dianne Feinstein decided. That's what Joe Biden decided. That's what all these old Democrats who actuarially stand a high chance of dying in office at an important time.

I'm not saying everyone over 65 needs to automatically retire. But the older you get, the easier this choice gets. And they just don't care enough about the country to make the right choice. And I think it's a cultural problem in the party that people need to get tougher about discussing openly and not be held back by, oh, we need to be sensitive to their feelings.
