In reply to the discussion: A woman led Dems back to the majority in the House.... [View all]erronis
(16,901 posts)77. Broad brush for it being the fault of the older generation.
I'm not particularly proud of my efforts to inject rationality into the politics or discourse, but I also think that there has been very conscious and directed interference into US and world relations and politics that is not to be laid at the feet of "older people".
I applaud the enthusiasm and energy of all that fight for liberalism and for the planet. AFAIK, in my part of the world there are a lot of 60+ year-old enthusiasts. And many of us hope to be around for several decades to continue to fight for what's right and to give perspective to the newer ones.
And, of course as we all know, it is always the fault of those that came before us.

Yes we can offer advice, but it's their time. I'm fine with elders taking a back seat.

I think Schumer should be replaced, too. Actually I would put that above Pelosi for priority

Also, what exactly did Pelosi do to win those elections that took the House back?
