Part 9/16:
The Decline of Iconic Political Figures and Shift in Power
Significant political shifts are noted, notably the retirement of Nancy Pelosi after four decades in office, marking the end of an era of progressive dominance in Congress. Commentary describes her as corrupt and self-serving, echoing sentiments that she contributed to the decay of American politics through reckless policies like Obamacare, which is labeled a tragedy of epic proportions.
Similarly, former figures like Bernie Sanders are viewed as relics of an aging leftist establishment that has failed to reinvigorate or modernize the Democratic Party, which is now nearly fully lurching toward socialist extremes with the rise of figures like Mandami.
