Regardless of how long someone has been on the job, we need to vote for and support those folks who support those Democratic values you described.

There is a lot of value in experience, and a lot of value in new ideas. What Trump offers is new people doing the same old Repub crap of tax cuts for the wealthy and slashing the social safety net while pushing Christo-facist restrictions on people that "make them uncomfortable."

I agree about the DNC. IMHO it is much ado about not much. As long as they work to expand our base into red districts and work to flip some of those, I'm down with it. Pushing Dems in the local/state races is also key.
