Howard Dean: 'My Generation Needs to Get the Hell Out of Politics'

[Hortensis]

64. Through the DEMOCRATS WE ELECTED, we gave America what

the Republicans are working so hard to destroy now.

You're spitting foolishly indiscriminately, Egnever. Including all over yourself -- if you consider yourself a Democrat, of course.

Maybe pick even one old Democratic senator you want to toss out and read about that person's record?

Here's one everyone really SHOULD know about: Chuck Schumer.
42 years in elected office -- certified ferociously experienced old fart.
Consistently strongly liberal through that entire period, most of which took place in battle to hold against the prevailing national wave of increased conservatism among the electorate.

Right now a bunch of senators are now fighting to claim "most progressive" for 2020, but Schumer's 42-year career says a whole lot more than just a couple years of chasing the current zeitgeist.

Maybe start with a couple current analyses and then go look for more about him, the person.

Some good graphs and summaries here -- keeping in mind that, like others, they are based on limited metrics that don't begin to tell the whole story.
