There are now two threads up going with the theme of how "older white men" and older people at DU in general are keeping the board from being progressive enough for the younger folks. Some even say that when we are all gone it will be more liberal.
Way to make seniors feel part of things.
Some of us "older" people have been here for many years. It's been 12 almost 13 for me. Some have been here since the inception in 2001. Many of us are criticized for being more liberal than our present Democratic party.
I want to say that I don't think there are many here who deserve the denigration going on in those two threads. There are always some, and I probably don't run into them because I am concentrating on other issues. Mostly education for me.
It's going to tear the forum apart if it keeps up.
Most of us older people here post about issues that are important to us, and the ones I read don't get into the race issue.
If I differ with President Obama, it is on policy matters like education and Social Security cuts.
I think there needs to be some moderation here.
