OMG, I just "battled" it out with a few people when I was defending a younger one that stepped in his own 💩.They were saying he needs to go while I reminded them that we shouldn't kick him to the curb and give him a chance to learn,be mentored by the old etc.What a mess we're in!We can't eat our own
Dear @housedemocrats.bsky.social and @senatedemocrats.bsky.social If you’re spending your time fighting with younger members of Congress because you’re jealous, fear for your jobs, or think you know more than them instead of fighting fascism - prepare to be voted out.
What I don’t totally get (and this is on whoever wrote the headline): Jasmine Crockett is 44. AOC is 35. I’m in that same demographic myself and I don’t consider this “the youth”.
I think the phrase “the youth” (in this context, anyway) is used to dismiss – purportedly on the basis of age, but that definitely ain’t the real basis.
I am still waiting for THE person. Like all the potential "The" person's keep tanking themselves. Who will rise to the top and be our leader? We need to find that person now.
Pelosi sabotaged AOC'S bid for this position from a hospital bed because she broke her hip. At 85, she's the 6th oldest member of Congress and that bitch is running for reelection. It's time to vote out the geriatrics. And we need term limits to prevent this from ever happening again.
Out of touch is legit; however, “rich” proves nothing; c.f. multimillionaire Bernie Sanders and billionaire J. B. Pritzker. Almost all members of Congress are millionaires.
It's not ageism. This is an example of the oldest members of Congress preventing the younger members from having any power. That alone is disqualifying. Pelosi is also guilty of insider trading, which is why she refuses to let anyone vote on stopping Congress from owning stocks.
Your only rationale was age. You also called her a “bitch”, which is misogyny. Congressional power derives from seniority, not age. Power preserves itself. If you think a more senior young person would cede power to an older junior person, you would guilty of reverse-ageism.
I'm a female so I can call her a bitch if I want to. Congressional power should be limited by term limits. No one should ever be in Congress for decades. It was never meant to be a career. The Founders would agree with me. We have age minimums, so we should also have age maximum.
Pelosi is also worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Check her portfolio and you'll see why she is against restricting house members from trading stocks.
@democrats.org get ready to lose your jobs if you’re more focused on fighting the younger generation just so you can keep taking taxpayer money to do NOTHING!
We’re facing fascism and this is your concern? Fuck y’all.
I mean, there are a lot of people that should be primaried. There is no reason not to have a Tea Party of the Left at this point and it has less to do with age than do nothings and stale ideas.
Did we not yet learn our lesson folks? Everyone counts. Money. No money. Old. Young. In betweens. Stop crafting messages that Exclude, read it first, get some input. Grow up. We all die and these kids need to be mentored not lectured to.
I think they win or lose on their merits. Bernie is ancient and still draws thousands to his rallies. If they are too old or tired to fight...out they go. I think young people are tired of the weak responses. I don't blame them.
I am 67. The fact is young people today are totally different than I was at their age. They have been raised on tech from the cradle. We have to accept that it is a different world now and a new, probably better equipped, generation is claiming it.
Hey @schumer.senate.gov 65-year-old WW Independent because all this 🫣- gestures wildly to the current shit show - We THE PEOPLE Want Effective Leadership. Sorry to say sir, that this is not your time. You are not displaying the appropriate reactions, in fact, your vocal responses have been inept.
The old guard can fuck the fuck off. They got us here and now want to cling to power and easy money. I’m sure Dems will screw this up also with infighting while we descend deeper into Naziism.
In the face of a fascist takeover of our country, some Democrats are putting all their energy into fighting progressives instead of the fascists...there's a word for those people....
Both parties operate as if it's business as usual, failing to meet the moment in different ways, but with similar results. They remain insulated from the direct consequences of their decisions, so they're out of touch to the point of absurdity.
While old leaders like Schumer send "strongly worded letters" to trump 🙄, we'll be primarying their weak, feckless asses and replace them with people actually balls to fight hard.
New talent, new ideas, it's about time Democrats fight against the GOP Cult with real ideas and how Americans outside the Cult will be better off without the GOP in control!
POV term limits on the Hill. 12-16 years, then you're out. We need strong, fresh energy and ideas. Not antiquated, this is how we always do it, attitude. TY for your service, but step aside, so sh*t can get done. I worked my entire career waiting on that Fu*king trickle down BS😉 #FDT #GOYOUNGDEMS
Hey I’m part of that old guard generation, HOWEVER, I’m with the young ones. If you can’t keep up with the trend then step down, let them take over the reigns. Help them to manage the process and accomplish progress! Work with not against!
Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac. The old guard will fight to hold onto power regardless of the end result.
Keep in mind, they are not personally affected by trumps racism, hate and destruction of the constitution. If the country dissolves into an authoritarian regime they will still be okay.
I am older than dirt and I agree the "old guard" needs to go. And don't come at me with "but this old person is doing this". They can STILL do that. Just not as a politician. Young people need to move us forward, to progress. This is their world now and they should have their voice at the table.
So instead of fighting the horrible Republican agenda, we are fighting against one another? Brilliant, absolutely brilliant (slinks off to the corner to cry and bang my head against the wall)
No, we’re fighting against elected officials who don’t want to give up power and a system that rewards seniority rather than competence or the ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
Age comes for all of us. Wisdom tends to evade those who pretend that it doesn’t. IMHO, of course.
If you are a "seasoned veteran" and you are fighting the young people, you're not representing anything. You are clinging to power.
Elders advise, inspire, elevate, hand off
The old ways of doing things, 'reaching across the aisle' to compromise with Republicans, is over.
Stop trying to be "Republican-Lite" that won't make you popular anymore. We want new, bold ideas that make our lives better now! Not later.

At this point, I can't help but wonder if the old guard is in cahoots with Trump. It might sound extreme but ask yourself this: If a Democratic senator was working with Trump in secret, would he be acting any different than Chuck Schumer is?
No, not the cabinet confirmations in the Senate, or the smart decision by Schumer to allow a vote on the budget instead of granting MAGA emergency powers.
If we can fight clean maybe we can demonstrate both fight & convictions. If you are center for policies say that. But point out that best ideas come from people who have ideas not just anger.
What’s with the toxic ad hominem attacks on Hogg from establishment Dem types? You’d think he was in league with Trump himself from the level of vitriol on display.
Fuck the party establishment so much honestly. They are the cause of so many problems for America and the world because they refuse to let the party change and leave them behind. Bastards.
There are way more Democrat voters in Idaho than the number that showed up in Nampa, Idaho, which is also near Boise, where most of the crowd came from.
I guarantee Idaho votes MAGA next election for the rest of eternity.
Same.
I had somebody get super heated with me yesterday after I said Schumer should resign.
Then called me an ageist bigot because I said the octogenarians had to go.
I think it’s because they’ve accomplished everything they want. They’ve had the offices. They’ve made their money. Built their legacies.
But now they want to cling to their positions without any of the hunger that got them there.
It isn’t fair to their constituents. Especially now.
oh, that’s easy. large donors hate anti-capitalists, and therefore want to defeat the new wave in favor of the old bastards they already own. to say nothing of the open civil war between the liberal zionist donor class and their strongly pro-palestinian kids and grandkids
There are some octogenarians (Bernie)who still have the fire, but most of them are just as old (or older) in spirit as they are in body. It seems almost exclusively the younger members who say "It doesn't have to be this way" and they should lead before their spirits die too.
lol that happened to me, too. I wonder if it was by the same person that called you ageist? She was pretty quick with it as an insult, so it must be her go-to.
Ah, no. Not the same person. Still don't understand how these people can look at Dem leadership and say "Yup, this will save democracy! These are the right people to lead!"
Connolly admitted the only reason he wanted the role was to check off that accomplishment box on his resume.
AOC is the only person in the party who is out there traveling and fighting every day (Bernie is technically independent).
It’s insane how she gets passed over.
I suspect it’s that she doesn’t take corporate or PAC money. She’s the face of the new party (with Crockett and Frost). That terrifies corporate Democrats. They would then need to earn a vote.
I’ll tell you right now, Crockett’s district like AOC’s and Frost’s districts adore them.
I always assume it's because Pelosi doesn't like her and she represents Corporate and Money Dems in the House. Sure Jefferies is in charge now Nancy is always there in the bg.
I’m with you Ken, and I am old myself! Changing of the guard is definitely needed. Primary them all, the anger out here among even -or especially -the “normies” is palpable.
It’s called new deal progressivism and it’s the ideology that won us the Second World War. The only person I know of who uses the phrase “college communism” on the regular is Tucker Carlson.
Is this "college communism" defined by "college shouldn't take your entire career and a lottery win to pay for," "corporations are not patriots," or "urination is a basic human need regardless of gender identity"? I like to know which bogus definition of "communism" we're dealing with.
A strict no to Marxist ideology or Marxist economic theory? If you conflate the two like that you wind up banning discussion of basic economic concepts like surplus value and price of production.
You guys need age limits, not because older people don’t have anything to offer, but they need to move into advisory and background support roles so that there is room for the next cohort to step in!
Now is not the time for infighting, now is the time to choose nominees in an honest and unbiased manner. Please old guard if you can honestly say you can fight on do so, if not nurture the next generation and take a side step.
Lotta older Dems need to retire to a farm upstate where they can run and play. (Looking at my notionally-Democratic senators who are reliable "yes" votes on presidential appointments./
There is so much common ground without attacking age, either younger or older. This stink goes both ways and divided, MAGA keeps winning so stop falling into it.
Agreed, we need to unite and stop thinking there is only one all encompassing directive A coalition of the left/resistance will win as it did for Trumpettes. State level first as they did. When we regain power then details are worked out by representing voters by district & state w/i constitution
We absolutely have to start with NO MORE. IE:
Economy 100%
No “deportations” w/o due process 100%
Kill Citizens United 100%
Kill anti DEI 97%
Save SS, Medicare & Medicaid 95%
No political firings 95%
Save public ed 95%
Save arts & science 95%
Needs work:
Universal healthcare 70%
Anti Israel 20%
This country is in a fight for it’s very existence as we know it. The Democratic Party has to step up and fight harder and louder and TOGETHER more than they ever have. Infighting is the opportunity this current regime needs to complete the takeover. Get your heads in the game and OUT OF YOU ASS
Old, entitled elites cling to their power and dirty money at everyone else’s expense. It’s time to pass the torch to leaders who actually give a damn—people who care whether their constituents can eat or keep a roof over their heads, not just billionaire donors.

Democrats failed the Working Class all the way around.
I'm not saying Democrats haven't achieved a lot. What I am saying is that we forgot about the WORKING CLASS.
Until we have the church on our side we're always going to be losing to the Republicans. You need people like me that walked away from the church because they're dealing with Nazis.
Holding the church accountable and holding a Christian's accountable for their votes is a must.
I don’t believe that at all. Every single ex-religious person I know views “Christians” as boorish, intrusive, hypocritical busy-bodies and the clergy as potential pedophiles with unrestricted access to children.
There are not a lot of ways to make the Trump Republicans more appealing than Democrats to young people right now, but fighting against party change and shutting out there views is one sure way!
Agreed, Molly. We have the GOP melting before our eyes and the economy entering turmoil. Dems should roll up their sleeves and fight for the constituents. Infighting achieves nothing!
Right. Bernie is out there kicking butt. We need that. Most of the “elder statesmen” have had an incredibly weak response to our current problems— if any response at all.
I knew this was coming when I saw their presser yesterday. It's sad and pathetic, and that's coming from an older person. Recently, I tried to get involved with the party at the county level. The attack from the old guard against the young was vicious and NOT reciprocated. This issue is a deep rot!
Watch our local anchor Kyle Clark trash Sen. John Hickenlooper as a 'Do Nothing Democrat'! This is the kind of reporting we need! Let's primary these DINOsaurs!
My name is Karen Breslin, and I am a progressive candidate for US Senate in Colorado, intending to primary Hickenlooper. Corporate Democrats like Hickenlooper must be defeated if we are to stop Trump’s authoritarian takeover.
Yet the generational divide has never been more pronounced given how large one gen is…
One very large generation is clinging crazily to everything and burning it down on the way out and several younger generations are trying to grab fire hoses and keep the building salvageable for restoration.
Interesting. Lots of folks under 50 out in droves where I am.
My biggest fear for many (not all, of course) folks over say 65 or 70 is that they are so far down the online / Fox News / Newsmax rabbit hole whether by habit or algorithmic feed, that they have no shot to join us in reality.
So we stop voting for them when they run for reelection like Pelosi is doing. She's the one who sabotaged AOC from a hospital bed to install this 70+ year old man with throat cancer who is vacating the position a few months later. No more geriatrics.
Lefties???LOL. Ok, boomer. Take the time to learn what "lefties" are talking about. You'll be surprise they want normal things like the rest of us-they just want it for everyone.
"Experienced hands" have gotten us where we are right now. The time for decorous oversight is over until we're past the existential crisis of an unchecked executive.
I'm also a huge advocate for term limits for everyone in Congress. It was never intended to be a career. Pelosi is 85 and is the 6th oldest member of Congress. It's a problem.
It’s time for the centrists who claim to be liberal to hold their nose and vote for actual liberal candidates instead of us having to hold our nose and vote for theirs. See replies below for context. No more Bidens, Clinton’s, Pelosi’s. No more trying to get the non-existent swing voters.
That’s fine about Connolly, but I do think you’re misinformed if that’s what you think her idea of oversight is. I would give her a shot, she’s an excellent communicator and a bulldog when it comes to standing up to power.
It was clear at the time of his getting the assignment that he was not up to the challenge presented by MAGA. He might have been fine if we were in normal times. Pelosi wanted to spite AOC. If that is her main goal in these times, then she is also not up to the challenge of MAGA authoritarianism
They want the bernicrats to take over the whole Democratic Party just like how MAGA took over the Republican Party. We cannot let it happen. If it did we would truly lose our country the MAGAs and Berniecrats would have it and there would be nothing left. No one to work for we the people
Young dems have a stronger voice and can reach a broader electorate. They shouldn’t be treated like benchwarmers and told to wait their turns until the old guard finally die. Let’s utilize their talents, build their name recognition so they can get reelected or elected to higher positions.
The Republicans have let younger people move into higher positions and now they have a well known bunch of candidates going forward. The Dems are trying to block younger Dems from higher positions. Also the DNC is trying to squelch those who would challenge older Dems in the primaries.
AOC is in her 6th year and has won reelection twice. She won her first term after primarying a Dem who had long stopped doing anything for his constituents because his seat was 'safe'.
AOC or Crockett would be great in that position not because they're young and popular but because they know how to get the message out to...the YOUTH. You know, the other big block of Democratic voters.
I like the all for one stuff, but the party needs the physical courage of young people. Dying in office so the rest of the world can suffer is unacceptable.
If we want the old guard gone people need to stop voting for them. It's not hard to understand why 80-year-olds don't have any fight. It's also not hard to understand why someone who has had power for decades doesn't want to lose it. Stop voting for octogenarians. It's that easy.
The Boomer generation is determined to rule everything until they enter the heavens.
We should have been more aware when they tried spinning, "70 is the new 40"!!
Democrats have a long history of squandering easy opportunities. The elders have a brief moment to cultivate a new team that can actually be effective....but they will do everything possible to screw that up.
Just look at ancient Biden, refusing to give up until it was too late. He is selfish.
This is why the modern Democratic party is so impotent.
The elder members inherited daddy's money and built a small fortune. Like many hippies and reformists, once they got a taste of money they do not want to let it go.
Time to put to pasture.
It's more that the younger generations are trying to break the 35 year stranglehold the boomer/silent generation has had on the the party's leadership.
So basically they are fine with everything falling apart around us, as long as they have power. Sickening! It’s time to pass the baton. Your time is over. Move aside!
Seriously.
This is why Dems are failing.
They can’t unite.
How do they expect to unite the nation if they can’t get their own shit together.
No better than the republicans if they keep spinning like this.
These old guard out of touch fucks will fight their own party harder than they will fight the maga fucks destroying the country tells me all I need to know ALL the old centrist fucks need to go now! I blame @schumer.senate.gov @pelosi.house.gov the most. Stop holding on to your fucking past! Move on
I am in my 7th decade and I say to the lifetime Democrats Get out of the fucking way let the next generation lead , don’t be Strom Thurmond or Chuck Grassley. Teach , mentor and lift up , but get out of the way
I recently had someone tell me I should run for our local school board. My response? I am 65 years old - nope.
Those members of Congress who are older than me? It’s time to start handing over the reigns. Especially those who are 10 or more years older than me.
I’m 78 and say it’s past time for the long standing Dems to step aside and mentor the vast talent pool of the young Dems….be the shoulders to let a new generation to stand upon and fight for all of us.
Agreed. Unless those Dems know something the rest of us don't, they need to STOP working against our own party-this is NOT the fucking time for it. If Trump succeeds while Dems squabble, there will be NO Dems/Repubs. They'll ALL be fucking unemployed (or jailed)--Trump the dictator won't NEED them.😐
I agree. Dear god, if nothing else, get out of the way! You could be helping to pass the baton (IT IS TIME!) but instead you are going to fight the next generation of leaders within your own party. To what end?
Read the room, ffs. As your constituents, we want you to step down. Ugh.
Dem leadership is more concerned with maintaining their power and position within the party than with any threats to democracy.
Tale as old as time: Leaders of orgs defend first their own positions within the org; then that org itself; and finally the wider ecosystem in which the org exists.
Republicans working in lockstep with each other to burn the world down, while Democrats argue about who should try and put the fire out. Same shit different day.
People are arguing to change an antiquated system that prioritizes seniority over all other concerns.
It’s not ageist to acknowledge that age comes for all of us. Experience has its place, yes, but THIS moment requires more than some kind of unproductive tenure system for politicians.
Time to mentor or go home and sit on the porch.! These Greedy old fux refuse to relinquish power why? $$$ or just plain selfishness, regardless, they are fuking the generation (be more like Bernie)
Dear misguided Democratic leadership. The old ways don’t work anymore sending letters and claiming that things are so horrible like that’s gonna do anything. We need active revolt from the leaders who actually care I don’t care if they’re fucking teenagers.
Schumer is old school Mjr Leader like Harry Reid, never getting anything done and making sure to shrink anything down that can be done to the point of being ineffectual to win over those 2 Republicans.
I know a lot of people are saying AGEIST and ENTITLED for wanting to get the old farts out of office but that's not really the case. We just want these old Status Quo and "Centrist" ineffective Congressmen out.
And not each other. That being said. We need change of guard in some cases... if we are to forge forward we need some new blood. We just do. It's reality and we should do this in the most respectful way possible. Example: Trudeau stepping down allowed Carney to win.
Comments
Not all that old now, are they?
This year: "it's unfair to make us work to earn primary votes in your district. You should just step aside."
The last election should have made it quite clear.
You won't lose prestige or esteem, you will gain it, step aside.
From a fellow old person
We’re facing fascism and this is your concern? Fuck y’all.
There are plenty of up-and-coming young Democrats in their 20s-40s who have been doing good work who DON'T get the kind of attention Hogg and AOC do.

Whether they're in cahoots, acting cowardly, or just incompetence, it's not a good look and won't get people to rush to give them the majority.

The big leap left is what left amble room for Trump to exploit.
If the Republicans took your advice, they never would've nominated Trump in 2016 after losing twice in a row to Obama.
70% of Americans poll left of center on issues. The right wins by lying.
But if the right moves to the extreme, the correct counter isn't to double down on college communism...
