What are white elderly liberals afraid of within their own younger more diverse ranks that they can't find it with in themselves to hand over power?
Liberals are some of the most racist people around. They don't actually want to hand over power to minorities, and are putting it off as long as possible.
I'm sure that's part of it.
But I think its more fundamental than racism (hate ot a group of people); it's been my experience that elder white liberals have superiority issues with everyone; not just particular groups of people.

Pure unadulterated elder abuse, period. Even AOC is calling for her to resign, yet they wheel her out, and respectfully I felt the same way during Reagan's second term.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Gov. Gavin Newsom provoked fury when he didn’t appoint a Black woman to fill the Senate seat held by Kamala Harris — opting to choose longtime friend Alex Padilla instead.
Now, two years later, he’s facing similar pressure as the state’s senior senator, Dianne Feinstein, recovers at her San Francisco home from shingles and could be forced to step down early if her health worsens.
Black political leaders are making it clear they remember the governor’s public pledge to appoint a Black woman to the Senate if Feinstein resigned — and are floating names that include Rep. Barbara Lee, who is already running for the seat.
“There is no Black woman in the Senate, so that commitment was heard across the nation,” said Assemblymember Lori Wilson, chair of the California Legislative Black Caucus. “There are Black women in Texas, in Georgia, who are holding onto: If there’s a vacancy, we’re going to get a Black woman, because Governor Newsom said so.”

“What is she doing here?” Feinstein asked.

Senator Feinstein needed quite a bit of guidance today during the rollcall vote: www.nbcnews.com...
But the people of California must be satisfied, because they keep re-electing her. The same for Senator Mitch McConnell, who mentally "blanked out" yesterday.

I know she said she was retiring, but if the right person is sitting behind her, she may vote to run again. They could squeeze a bit more out of old girl.
