(11,122 posts)to vote for republicans? You would like to get rid of the liberal seniors because you think that would help?
Now I've been voting liberal - even socialist - for longer than you. I know how politics work much better than you if this is something you think will work. In elections, you need more votes, not fewer. The smug immature whining of the posts lambasting senior DUers serves no purpose more than it serves the republican party.
I celebrate the young, serious liberals I know. I encourage them. Many of my group of old liberal geezers help them find out how to work precincts and stuff. They are grateful. I am grateful for them.
You need to get out more and see more of your community if you don't think the republican party, the christian right, gun fetishists, immigrant haters and such don't have huge numbers of young people in their groups.
