(4,570 posts)It's not really as much about age as it is complacency, and the refusal to accept the radical change that has been occurring in U.S. politics. It's not like the past where policy differences between the parties could be solved through compromises. One can no longer assume that though we would differ on ways to achieve it, both parties wanted the best for their fellow Americans. That's no longer truth. The modern Republicans don't give a damn about anyone but themselves and their rich donors.
Our side needs to quit the go along to get along. They don't need physical weapons to fight back. Powerful oratory can still work, if only more didn't cower from even using that method, out of fear they will be "taking the low road."
The House and the Senate Democrats, who can't accept the new reality absolutely need to be primaried . I include my two Senators in that list. None of the members primary goal should be there to make "nice," with the opposition. Their main goal should be to fight for and protect the rights of the American people period.
