General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Democrats are too old. [View all]You seem to be under the impression that the only issue is that Democrats aren't electing younger people to office - that is only part of the issue. There are plenty of standouts already elected - three I mentioned in my post. The big issue is that the party itself seems to expect younger elected leaders to sit in the back until it's their time and when the hell is that going to be?
I already mentioned Democratic leadership passed on AOC to be the top Dem on the oversight committee. They instead went with the dying Connolly.
The leader of Senate Democrats is 74 years old and wholly out of touch it seems.
The Democratic Whip is 80 years old.
It doesn't really matter how many Democrats are elected if they're relegated to the back bench.
It's time to have the younger members become the face of the party. Schumer absolutely should stand down - as Pelosi did. He should have in January when the congress was seated.
