I support Elizabeth Warren because, according to the NYT puff piece, she used to be a Republican.

14. Even if all this were true, it is precisely the point.

Ms. Warren is an older woman, but her mind is young and active.

She's not some senile old fart who's repeated the same damn tired rhetoric year after year after year after year without ever generating a single new idea in sixty years, repeated the same formulaic supercilious slogans like some senile old bastard.

I am an old man myself, and I am powerfully ashamed of what my generation is leaving for all future generations.

I am exhausted with sloganeering, the absurd pretension of moral superiority where there is, in fact, zero such morality to support it.

Speaking as an old fart, I hope that those among us old farts who have nothing creative to say will get out of the way and let people with young minds - new minds, even if they are, in fact in old people - get on with saving what is left to be saved.

I would not expect that what I've just said will make it clear to those attached to historical dogma, but it certainly represents what I think.
