So the answer is to be ageist instead of administering civics and leadership ability test to the prospective candidates

Got it. Swap bigotry for bigotry.

Way to do better, people

The difference is that there are only so many of these elected political jobs. The only way for younger people to get direct experience is to run for them. And particularly for Congress, where there are only 435 seats nationwide and their districts were likely drawn to favor one party or another – in many districts, the primary is the election.

Yes, these people are advocating for the older generation to step aside. But even if they don’t, they are advocating that a healthy party should have meaningful primaries for every position, and have those older politicians actively defend their seats if they want to keep them. I bet that if an older politician is with it enough to win a contested primary, even these folks would support them in the general election. (Plus, that losing candidate would have had experience running that contested election, so they can do better next time)

It’s not different. .it’s lobbying for unelected people to decide in the shadows what should be done loudly on television by people we directly voted for

Anything else is trump. 2.0

unelected people to decide in the shadows what should be done loudly on television by people we directly voted for

What the fuck are you even talking about

Saying primaries are “shadowy” and the DNC just decides who’s going to win before any are even run.

Which isn’t the case, but DWS really did a number on people’s heads.
