Dear Mr. HOGG, Please educate yourself first. Who has stood with you?

61. Ageism against Democratic women is an attack line that began with Republicans.

Define "too old"?

There are few complaints about the age of powerful men in the Democratic Party. Younger voters overwhelmingly flocked to 76 year old Sen. Bernie Sanders over the 69 year old Hillary Clinton, who they labeled as old, tired and sickly and mentally challenged. Dianne Feinstein is criticized at age 85. Joe Biden is 74 and generally beloved by the voters, as is 71-year-old Bill Clinton, and civil rights icon, John Lewis is revered at age 78.

It's clearly not a question of age being detrimental among most Democratic men, but women are disproportionately targeted. Republicans have laser focused on age as a means of marginalized and removing the most effective operatives we have, like Pelosi. I wouldn't be surprised if they get a little boost from their Russian pals who seed that attack message all over the internet. The media sure does a copy cat business in rehashing the same stories that are being promoted by Fox and other rightwing sources. Why do some Democrats follow along, repeating the same Republican talking points instead of showcasing the merits of their alternate choices?
