Well, if you want her to stop being in Congress, you know what to do in the primaries.

I'd vote against Pelosi in the primaries for the same reason I'd vote against Biden or Trump or McConnell or Feinstein in the primaries. They're all too fucking old. The average age of the Senate is 64 years. The average age of the House of Representatives is 57 years.

Here's every senator or congressperson age 68 or older.
