(2,146 posts)Hogg is young. So, using the same standard, it is ageist to call him "young". And to him, Bernie, etc. (and me too) is "old".
Again, the OP still has his righteous indignation all aflame because of the use of the word old. And he avoid the point of my post, and still refuses to take his own advice. His asking for an apology reveals a person who is more interested in finding offense. Note that the OP avoids responding to "Take you own advice", and tries to derail this by taking that one word and running with it. Really now.
I have been called old and I never got a case of the vapors over it, nor was I immediately moved to challenge the speaker to a duel. Get over it. Grow up. Bernie is old. I'm old. Carter is old. The OP is old. Pelosi is old. Facts is facts, and nothing short of a youth serum, is going to change that. The entire establishment is old. Hogg is not and he makes a good point - there is no young blood making decisions, and bring their agenda, and there should be.
So that is the question the OP should be asking, not wasting his time yelling at young whipper snappers, taking offense at being called old (Assuming that his offense is real and not feigned) or shouting at clouds. I say Hogg and a few of his generation should be given seats at the table now. For one thing, he has amply proven that his generation is well informed politically. Let the young man speak and be heard.
Really now.
