(6,044 posts)When JFK said the old Democrats were the reason Apopalachia was economically depressed?
or Paul Wellstone raged against Democrats
Remember when the rising and younger Democrats harangued us about how Tip O'Neill was too old and did not understand the modern world.
I don't intend to be thrown off the bus by any Democrat because I'm not 25. I hear all the criticism about Democrats I need --from .......Republicans.
From Democrats I want to hear some solid plans on how we can all band together, defeat fascism and build equality.
Regressive forces in America have always tried to limit competition by telling other people they have to get out of the way or should not be allowed to compete or should not be allowed to continue competing.
This is regressive propaganda. Incidentally bankruptcies among people over 65 at at record high numbers. Try starting out again at 65 as so many are doing. Early, underfunded, forced retirements and no job offers. Houses you can't afford to repair or pay tax bills on.......
Cortez seems intent on tearing apart instead of building coalitions-that was indeed the Tea Party approach. They had their victories and now they have just about destroyed the Republican Party-and we are poised to save the country--if we can remember that the opponents of Democracy are Republicans and the enemy of Democracy is Vladimir Putin and his henchmen-not House Democrats.
