That's BS.
It's also BS that older Dems "allowed a GOP to get away with pretending they might actually 'work' with us for decades."
I'm not sure which "great Young Democrats" you're trying to come to the defense of here. I have my suspicions but won't name them.
I'm guessing they're the more leftwing members of a freshman class in the House, a freshman Democratic class that happens to be in the majority only because Democrats were able to gain that majority with more moderate candidates, thanks in large part to the leadership of Nancy Pelosi.
People standing on others' shoulders are ill advised to attack those who helped them up.
And btw, any charge that older people don't care about the future is IMO slander.
Especially when it's aimed at liberal Democrats, which would be pretty much everyone here.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
