One illegitimate anti-democratic institution protecting another. May they all burn in hell.

      Not defending them, but I don't think any of the squad members are in the senate

        I could have sworn Bernie and AOC are senators, I’m having a Mendela effect

          Oh yeah, Bernie is. But "the squad" refers to a small group of 2018 house members that won in the wake of Bernie's campaign.

                The funniest part is the fact that Bernie isn't even the oldest senator by a long shot. I think that goes to either Feinstein or Grassley. fuck, according to this listicle, Bernie is only the 5th oldest or something, and is apparently roughly the same age as Mitch McConnell. https://www.oldest.org/politics/members-of-us-senate/

                  Bernie's not even the oldest senator from Vermont.

          New York's Senators are Schumer and Gillibrand.

          Although, Gillibrand going along with this says everything you need to know about her "pro-choice" credentials.
