You can view it that way if you want to ignore the facts.
This is literally why the Republicans and billionaires find it worthwhile to keep him in power.

Interesting take on this issue. Certainly politics at large and what is acceptable speech and behavior by our top leadership in government have changed dramatically in the last decade. BTW, Nancy Pelosi and I were born the same year only a few months apart from each other. I have tried to groom and support younger people for positions in non-profits that I have held, but it’s a much different world than the one Nancy and I grew up in. Heck, it’s a far different world than the one my adult children grew up in.

The refusal to believe trained scientists who have the knowledge and experience to know that autism is a genetic issue.
The right-wing’s rejection of science in general is a very dangerous thing in our society.

I am sensitive to ageism. I was born the same year as Nancy Pelosi.

This morning’s posts from Heather Cox Richardson and Paul Krugman:
So sleepy, demented, commie Joe Biden’s promise to counties that voted against him three to one 100% federal disaster aid has been revoked by crypto orange jesus. As if we needed more proof that sadopopulism is a murder suicide pact.

I don’t know if you could call that “combed”. I’d say more like “arranged”, like a crop circle*

What “facts” am I ignoring? And (Btw, I’m not dissing Pelosi or Jeffries. Like Josh Marshall, I am concerned that Dem leadership in the Senate as well as the House is mired in “Don’t rock the boat” habits. I sometimes wonder if the party wasn’t traumatized by McGovern’s loss.)

Here’s what I think (whether you like or not, and if you don’t like it, I have other thoughts).
There will be primaries in 2026. Many “oldster” Democrats will possibly be primaried, fewer in the Senate than the house. Now if progressives have made inroads and Trump’s dismal propensities have angered Democratic voters, many of the oldies will be replaced by those fiery youngsters many as young as 50 or 60. But what if it turns out that most Democratic voters want a return to stability and decide to stick with the established old ones (at least with the ones that haven’t died yet) or simply younger moderates? In fact, my bet is there’s a good chance that’s exactly what will happen, even though I’d personally prefer that the Party become more progressive.
Democratic Party ideology has changed little over the past several decades while the Republican party has veered far to the right. If the past is the key to the present, that will remain the case. The oldsters will die off anyway, but that’s no indication that the Party will veer off further to the left.

The fact that the younger folks the older people are training are considerably more than “younger versions of themselves,” for starters.

Examples? (And of course I didn’t mean the younger people are replicas of the older ones. And of course I wasn’t referring to Bernie’s alliance with AOC.) Otherwise, you’re just asking us to accept your confident assertions. We won’t learn much from you that way.
