Jim Clyburn is fighting to save the lone South Carolina Democratic Congressional seat from a redistricting effort. At 85 years old, Rep. Clyburn is running for re-election. It would be his 18th term in Congress.Having earned several million dollars already & the pension he'll receive, there's no reason for America's favorite sharecropper, er, Rep. Clyburn to continue working in Congress.😁I'm fairly certain Rep. Clyburn isn't taking care of hoes in different area codes either..🤣The senior citizen squad that is Rep. Clyburn, Rep. Nancy Pelosi & Rep. Maxine Waters & every other member over 75 years old needs to retire & give younger folks a chance to sit in those seats. Term limits are totally necessary. There's no reason for these people to be taking naps during sessions &/or having the chamber smell like linimint or Aspercreme.🤣We need a campaign telling Rep. Clyburn & others that its time to go home & enjoy retirement.😁😎 Report

The old guard of black Democrats are too wedded to the status quo, and only give lip service to black grievances. Time, indeed, for an infusion of dynamic young Democrats to neutralized the creeping numbers of new breed black right-wingers more interested in getting rich than fighting racism. Report

If Black candidates are beholden to a PAC on either side, Democrat or Republican, their marching orders are already set. Candidates funded through grassroot efforts & regular campaign donations have an uphill climb. That's why Independents are rare.Campaign finance reform is a joke. So, the 2-horse race between Democrats & Republicans remains status quo. Just a matter of selected candidates out-fundraising each other. Once the politicians get to Capitol Hill, they go about the business of enforcing the agenda of & enriching the folks who sent them.😎 Report
