(62,325 posts)yours. I'd like to know before we start campaigning. I certainly wouldn't want to lie to long time democrats just to get their votes. I am a believer in being honest with people.
So, are you speaking for the Dem Party when you say that as soon as we get rid of all the 'old people' everything will be just dandy?
Btw, that is such OLD rhetoric. There have always been pathetic people who don't realize that everyone grows older, who are stuck in a moment in time and think they will be there forever. I could give you thousands of examples of people who mirror your sentiments, or did. But they are all very old now and none have accomplished enough to even be remembered.
Maya Angelou was old. Obama is old. Bernie Sanders is old.
Personally I LOVE old people, I find them to be far more thoughtful, intelligent and most of all, compassionate. I learn from them, I have learned nothing from you eg, no offense, just a fact.
So back to my question, does the Dem Party believe it doesn't need its old voters, because if that is the case, I will feel compelled to tell them that, as I have difficulty lying to people.
Thanks in advance.
