I’d be thrilled with anything that gets more people involved, running and voting. As opposed to this lethargic and defeatist „electorate“ we have now.
They’ll make it look like they’ll accept a change within the party but when the Primary pulls around they will pull out all the stops to make sure a progressive doesn’t win
An obsolete out of touch party. Leadership is out for themselves and not the greater whole. They have done nothing to cultivate the next generation, choosing instead to basically rot in office and we all pay the price. They undo any good they accomplish in their careers. If Biden would have stepped aside and allowed a real primary, we may not be in this mess. RBG had all her good undone because she basically had to die in the court. Schumer with his glasses at the end of his nose saying he is the best for the job… GTFOOH.
I think most Democrats would say it’s not about getting the old hats out due to age or related perceptions – it’s about getting rid of people who’ve enriched themselves at our expense and participate in the same „financial sector first“ politics as the opposition.
One’s age doesn’t have to reflect their values, nor is it reflective of the corruption, however they want to justify it, that they’ve engaged in.
We see how the Rs fight the Ds — they held a Supreme Court seat vacant for a year and Dems JUST LET THEM DO IT! Dems just want our side to fight like they do. We are done turning the other cheek.
I don’t care about age. I care about ideology. I care about whether they stand by their principles. I care about whether they are willing to actually stand up to republican terrorism. There isn’t a single democrat in congress today who will even acknowledge that the republican party has transformed into a terrorist organization, so i can tell you that, as it stands, there isn’t a single democrat i would support. But if a 110 yr old democrat stood up tomorrow and started talking about universal healthcare, outlawing the billionaire class, and charging trump and republicans with treason, then I would not hesitate to follow that person.
Either we invest in our future and future generations.
Or we allow China to continue to lead and we focus our future generations on serving the elderly and elites…
For as much as we want to establish a minimum wage we prob need to establish a maximum age. Advisory service is still needed but no way in hell should dinosaurs hold the reins as long as they do. Proud Dem here. Schumer & the dinos need to go.
Now the press will point to our demands and simply say it’s an age thing, discounting the reasons we’re dissatisfied. Denial over the real reasons, like accountability and prioritizing people over corporate interests. Oh and our party members joining the administration’s cult, abandoning those who voted them in, with their own self serving political career goals in mind. We got the administration we have now because the party failed to address the conditions that created the fertile ground to sprout fascists. They all but sowed the seeds. They ignored us time after time after time and then act shocked when they don’t win. Then ghost us out of spite until „younger“ leaders show them how to connect with voters, which is when they then start deliberate PR staging of candidates THEY want in office for THEIR needs. DNC approved. Add in the press doing their bidding and we have 2016 and 2024 all over again.
We need the energy of 2008. Not the old guard that refuses to change.
If the old guard democrats are still in charge by the end of the year, I don’t think their party has a future. A third party will overtake them if they don’t wake up now.
For more than 10 years, people have been telling them that if they don’t change to favour the everyman over corporations, they will face death in the future.
Now, we are watching a ham handed attempt by the Republicans to do exactly that – to restore the manufacturing that used to define the middle class, even if it doesn’t bring back any jobs. It probably won’t work, but within a few years, the hastily built factories will appear as a genuine attempt at movement in that direction.
The time is up for Dems. Change or die, it’s the last chance.
It’s about getting people out who cannot adapt to the needs of this country.
People like Schumer have made it very clear he is out of touch with what is actually happening right now.
This is my take on the matter. Democrats have become more politically „centered“ as they frequently cater to Republican demands and as a result the Repubs have gone „far right“. If the dems go this route and tilt more „left/far left“… In theory it balances the political ideology spectrum but it will also create a more divided country. So that’s my concern -older millennial
Democrats need to go full progressive. Moderate democrats are always republicans in disguise.
About 10 years too late. (Full disclosure – baby boomer pushing 70)
A few years ago Senator Ted Stephens (R) Alaska
The internet is like a series of tubes. Time to let someone else run the show.
Jesus Christ, please.
Time to get rid of all the Dems that were traumatized by Reagan’s victory, then decided that he’s the blueprint for them winning.
I sure hope so. If democrats don’t get some big ideas (for the people) that are broadly supported by their members in Congress, they’ll likely win a majority in 2026 and then get destroyed in 2028.
I haven’t donated a penny after the election. And I will continue to withhold until I see someone else at the helm.
Sounds like we need a Labour party movement.
This started in 2016 when the DNC thought it would be a great idea to have Hillary run. Don’t get me wrong; she was more-than-qualified, but she was too divisive of a candidate.
Old leadership and probably old-ish voters. Younger guys are trending Republican and really building a movemrnt, sadly. The manosphere is pretty much all guys on the right of center or at the very least are perceived to be on the right. For example, I don’t think Theo Von is really all that political but he features mostly conservative types. But there are far too many out there who are blatantly far-right like Tim Pool, etc.
It’s honestly going to need to be a total shift or a new party at this point. Make all those bumper stickers and stupid catch phrases useless.
Yep. The old guard is what led us to this point. Too focused on using their office to enrich themselves to do anything concrete about fighting back against fascists
There has to be less stifling of new voices and people. I’m not entirely opposed to seniority. Those who have worked and have experience should lead in my opinion. But seniority can’t be the only thing allowing for change. Since by the time someone is allowed to change if they don’t want to change the system anymore.
Really, you think we might want different folks in than the politicians who have lost to Trump 2/3 times and barely beat him the one time? Yeah I think some new leadership was needed 10 years ago!
