Old timers really don't understand the new rules. No more back slapping, pretend being friends, now it's take the booty and do what're told.

Like those who think the ethernet is made of tubes, or don't know a tweet from a text, know it is time to go.

Many do not want to go to their home district and answer questions about policy they no longer understand or care about, know it is time to go.

I believe it is just a collective understanding of it's time to go, I believe about 1/2 of federal office holders will be leaving.

Or, Non-Confrontational do not want to fight for their seats.

I think a lot of things are considered.
