But don't call out of the blue because you need a favor.

This is true given the voter bases, but my sense is this problem is primarily <structural> & not about individuals/parties. 🇺🇸's formal (non-PR) & informal (committees/seniority) institutions create +incentives for specific Senators/Reps to stay too long. Curious what this looks like in other systems
The Democratic Party’s age problem isn’t just bad, it’s much worse than Republicans’. Half of registered Democratic voters are under 50, yet half their senators are over 67. Despite claiming to represent the future, party leadership systematically blocks younger voices from gaining power.
