Moving Forward Together or Splintering and Going Nowhere

8. For the Democratic Party to unify, all generations must agree

to work together and keep Republicans out of office. It's pretty simple, really. In every district and for every office, different people of different age groups will run as Democrats for the office. It's not the age of the candidate. It's the willingness for Democrats of all ages to cooperate to elect the Democrat instead of the Republican.

In this country, we have always had people of all age groups in office. For President, generally it takes a long time to build experience and the knowledge necessary to win that office. We've had some exceptions who were in their 40s, of course, but most Presidents are older than that. This year, we had two Democrats of some age running in the primaries.

It's not the age of the candidates. It's the attitudes of the electorate.

Once elected, members of Congress tend to be re-elected again and again. That's just how it is, generally.
