(4,033 posts)I basically agree with what you are trying to say. The Dems have to whip up the complacent base and they seem to have done since the liar-in-chief's election. We got the government we have now because the tea party and the so-called 'freedom caucus' shouted their heads off and the opposition party tried to reason with them instead of just calling out 'liar, liar, pants on fire'.
And, I hate to say it (being an old fart myself) the Democrat Party has become a party of old folk. Hillary, bless her heart, was 70, Bernie is 75, Biden is 74, Pelosi is 76, Maxine Waters is 78, John Lewis is 77. Where are the up and comers? Paul Ryan is 47, Marco Rubio is 45, Kevin McCarthy is 52. We need the see and hear from the up and coming Democrats. We need to get them elected and visible and we need to KEEP ON fighting, marching, and activating OUR base.
