@Dave75 i don't blame them at all for wanting change. (i sure want change!) they could vote, you know.... and they could run for office, and then they'd have more choices, agewise and otherwise. being ageist themselves is not the way to combat ageism against them. it's not old vs. young. it's good vs. bad. i want mitch mcconnell out of office, preferably doing hard labor. i don't feel that way because he's old. he was surely an asshole when he was young too. people don't become assholes on a certain birthday!.

@KateZilla this is true, but ryan is young and he is one of the biggest assholes of them all, and he has the power in the house. the senate is ruled by old men, emphasis on MEN.

oh, did you forget november? no one you mentioned is running right now. if we don't flip congress and the red states blue, there won't BE a 2020 to speak of.

“IF and only IF they have a choice...” - And that’s where their country will have went! Not to the ‘the purists,’ not voting because someone once cast a vote they didn’t agree with … but to the lock-step filthy republicans - militaristically voting strategically in order to win ‘their war,’ not to remain ‘Pure’ ..as vividly exemplified by their current brain-damaged immoral leader … in the process of wrecking this nation..

@Varn who'd the Dems force down our throats in 16? That is what's I mean...the 3 Dems I mentioned are too Old..Dems need to push people that both GenX and Millenials Believe in..Like Karmela Harris...
The entire Dem leadership needs to Stepdown..especially Schumer and Pelosi..

@Charlene You mean who’d the Repub’s force down our throats..? You’re overlooking the fact we’ve a binary system, yet blaming the one out of power...

The problem I see is Purest Dems demanding of ourselves what we can’t of our true opponents. Should Ruth Bader-Ginsburg retire..? Should Senator Al Franken have resigned.? Or, should we work within the party most closely related to our views - or run ourselves, then support the candidate of that party when they go up against true evil?

@Charlene schumer isn't bad. pelosi is great. and clinton wasn't forced down our throats. i voted for her because i like her... a LOT. you want someone else? vote in the primaries, or run for office. but the truth is, not voting dem means electing republicans, or at least installing them (we ELECTED clinton).

@genessa well you know what she lost..And I Voted in the Primary.. For Bernie Sanders..I held my nose and Voted for Clinton cause I always vote Democratic..ALWAYS..
Schumer is Spineless..and Pelosi is Not the face of the future of the Democratic Party..she needs to step down from her leadership role..

@Charlene that is good! i am sorry you felt you had to hold your nose, but i am glad you were wise and did so.
