      What a bunch of horseshit.

      If age were actually an issue, the 80 year old wouldn’t have won.

      It’s for the best. How many “MUST-WIN!” elections has the DNC flubbed now?

      I have been unimpressed by the new Dem leadership in the House. Jeffries is fine I guess but I can’t even name the other two next in line.

      Gen Z? We don’t even have a good number of *Millennials* in congress. I think it’s less than 10%.

      Look, you lose to a shitty asshole in the presidential race once, that sucks.
      You lose *again* to that same shitty asshole when he’s even worse and has criminal convictions, then you need to step back.

      Having both Bill and Hillary Clinton speak at the DNC this year really showed that the Democratic leadership has not learned shit and thinks they can still win on the same things that got them into the White House in the 1990s, despite all evidence to the contrary. There needs to be a change.

      Pelosi’s record in the House is astounding. No one has ever, ever been better at keeping a party together. If she said she had the votes, she had them. She deserves a statue.

      Go get ‘em gang!

      Old guy here, and it’s WELL PAST TIME for a thorough house cleaning!

      The old men and women of the party were just too damned tired to fight for us and here we are.

    14. ccasey on

      First thing I said after seeing those results is that the entire DNC needs to be purged of the Clinton and Obama people.

      lol ‘ossifying’ is a good adjective to describe them. Pelosi has a quarter of a billion dollars in assets and she still refuses to retire at 84 and she’s barely in the top 10 oldest. She just announced she’s running for reelection (she’ll probably win considering she got 81% of the votes in her district last time.)

      Grace Napolitano is 87 and is about to be 88. Maxine Waters is 86. There are many others. I’m wondering who is going to be the first to pass from natural causes in their office at the Capitol complex from old age. Even Moscow Mitch is younger than all of these folks and his brains are turning into tapioca in front of everyone.

      Brainrotted Gen Z men helped put Trump back in office, so I’m chill on putting them in Congress. Get some Millennials in there first so Gen Z has a chance to reverse course on blindly following the Joe Rogan manosphere.

      Could’ve done that a bit sooner. We went from younger Black guy and did a slingshot right back to old white guys. Old White Guys Redux: Even Older Edition.

    18. countdoofie on

      Maybe start advocating for age and term limits to show they actually want to change the gameplan.

      You need to oust the donors. These old farts are just sock puppets. You need to build the party’s coffers on small individual donations. Stop with the $$$ plate dinners and the wine mixers in Silicon Valley. Start throwing bbqs in neighborhoods of working class people, and showing up and doing charity work in rural places that are struggling. It’s just a fact of life that if you take in big money from individuals, then you do their bidding. Even if you don’t want to, you’ve lost the power all the same. Until they tell their big donors to get in line behind ever other American they will never be anything but Republican light.

      Schumer, pelosi, and the Clintons need to disappear forever. The county would be better for it.

    22. dathom on

      I’ll believe it when I see it.

      Spoiler alert: I won’t see it.

      Apathetic, young, non-voters as a demographic will continue to wield no political power… which is a shame because young people skew more liberal than any other generation so they absolutely COULD have an impact.

    23. drwhogwarts on

      Gen Z helped vote in Hitler 2.0. They need to stand down and learn about the world outside of Tik Tok.

    24. Lopsided_Pickle1795 on

      Good. Time for a new generation of leaders. I m sick of that pelosi.

    25. CupcakesAreTasty on

      The Dems need to do something, but what exactly remains to be seen.

      The party leadership is old AF and the younger members of the party rely too much on identity politics, which alienates middle-aged white voters.

      Not addressing income inequality and work opportunities further alienates blue collar workers and a dying middle class.

      We need term and age limits across the board, including SCOTUS.

      BUST. UP. THE. PARTIES. Jesus Christ stop campaigning with a fucking Cheney and have them start a new GOP. Split the dems down centrist and far left lines.

      BuT wE mIgHt LoOsE ElEcTiOnS!!!! Who fucking cares you’re losing now trying to tow a fucking line! The duopoly is dead let the career old dog democrats languish in the filthy bed they’ve made with the GOP.

      FUCK IT ALL UP PLEASSSSEEEAAAHHHHH

    29. icouldusemorecoffee on

      Gen Z voted for Republicans, the problem isn’t party elders, it’s their ability to talk to their own about politics.

    30. mindfu on

      It’s all about what works.

      I hope it’s done keeping all of the good.
