It's going to be a rough 10 years until the current establishment group ages out and the millennials pry the reigns from their cold, dead hands.

There are amazing young Dems serving in Congress. Among them: Lauren Underwood, Sharice Davids, Shontel Brown, & Maxwell Frost. The current DNC vice chairs: Malcom Kenyatta, Artie Blanco, & Shasti Conrad. Maybe before criticizing “establishment” Dem leaders, learn who they are.

What part of the “establishment” is left? I’m blue, but the Dems have no identity, purpose or messaging. Who’s the part leader? What’s our direction. Half the country doesn’t care.

Something needs to happen. As much as I love the Dem party they just aren’t being aggressive enough. Actually I do not read about them doing anything at all. I’m watching the important legit news & do not see much.

Whomever it is, I expect them to come armed for battle, and ready to take down these Nazi fucks. Not just remove them, jail them! January 6th gets investigated, and the stolen documents too. And all the Epstein pedophiles get outed and jailed!

I have either volunteered for, donated to, staffed, and ran a campaign for elected office as a Democrat every two years since I was 19 years old. I'm 62. I've done what I could. I'm ready for a new generation to take over. They're ready too

If they don't take a back seat & hand the reigns over to these young people the party will continue to LOSE! It's time for the "Old Guard" to give the new generation the benefit of your years of experience in ideas & suggestions then let them, make the choices of how to move forward!

Don't worry, I'm sure that the gerontocrats at the DNC will be as accepting of their voices as they have been of anyone under sixty who wants a say in how decisions are made and doesn't want to keep the status quo.

Gerontoctats, perfect! So many of them so hideously out of touch.

That’s the big question. Sadly so many Dems have been too comfortable for too long and it is painfully obvious that no one wants more of the same - we need change and growth to fight off the bigotry, racism and ultra right wing Republicans

Age does matter. Look what you have in government. The Republicans‘ average age must be about 79. They should have retired 10 years ago.

I submit 2 older, energetic, CURRENT office holders: Bernie Sanders and Chuck Grassley. And 2 younger, energetic, CURRENT office holders: AOC and Maxwell Frost. What they have in common is Skill. Strategy and coalition-building Experience. Those characteristics have Nothing to do with age.

This question doesn’t need answering. There are 100s of jobs old people can’t do b/c of cognitive & physical failing but in politics they hang around well past their retirement age just v/c they can. That‘s the issue, I think. You need age limits.
jul 30, 2025, 12:44 pm • 0 0 • view
That's not ageist as much as it's dumb. And, again, it gets to my point. I don't care about age. I care about ideas, skill and strategy. But when people make age the primary dis-qualifier (or qualifier), I wonder what strategy they think will convince the disqualified to join their cause.

The time to clean up our party is NOW. Would love if we start w/corporate wing, forced retirements & bypassing leaders who listen and follow a certain NYT columnist who wrote a book about Abundance. The latter opine, changing party values to compete w/RW extremism, will lead to election success?

“Abundance” is just repackaged neoliberalism, and it will absolutely not solve any problems this country is facing. Industry MUST be regulated, and wealth must be taxed for the benefit of The People. Anything less than is a non starter, full stop.

Term limits. For House, Senate, Supreme Court. This would open room for many younger people who want to run for office and serve. I'm 67 and I don't want an 80 year old deciding the fate of this country. This isn't ageism, this is just reality. Fresh faces and ideas are what we need.
