are two of those.
Why have Democrats not supported the progressive Democrats more? It worked for Theodore Roosevelt, a republican, he did make the USA much better, he was a progressive, reason why other republicans hated him, they just supported him because he was so popular with voters.
USA citizens are progressive, but they have bought into "progressive not good" rhetoric without understanding why. The older group of Democratic officials have not moved forward with the times, although progressiveness is not new, it is what the USA needs, and so they have stuck with their old ways, and I believe that is where the problem is.
There is a saying in Spanish "Mientras mas viejo mas Pendejo". ("The older one gets, the more stupid one gets"
, and please do not take it the wrong way, I will explain what it really means.
It means that as people grow older they become more attached to the old ways ("Things were so much better then", "The current youth is lost", this last one was also said by Socrates, many years ago, he thought the youth of his time was lost), the older they get they loose courage, they are more careful to go against the status quo, and thus they tend to vote for things they know they should not vote for and would have never voted for when younger, so we all suffer.
I agree that the Democratic party needs new blood, Schumer and others like him should move on, help build up the progressives, which to me is where the future of the USA lies, and get out of politics besides coaching on the way government works and not on policies, I believe the progressives know where they want to take the USA.
So anyway, both of you have points, lets keep the Bernie Sanders, and Warren, Adam Schiff, Jamie Raskin, etc., but lets get rid of the rest who are not contributing, or don't have the energy to fight the republican monsters.
