@rbreich That's what they should've done with Bernie Sanders, and yet here we are. At least this time they can't use the excuse that he isn't a "real Democrat"

@rbreich The Dem Party gerontocracy needs to get their heads out of their.. emm.. the sand.. and admit that Camelot was a long time ago. That has been the problem for decades within the party now. Because it has gone unacknowledged for so long, we now pay the price for those decades of stubborn willful refusal to acknowledge reality in the form of a second Trump administration. As if the first one wasn't enough of a warning..

@rbreich it is very telling in my eyes that the only 2 countries still ruled by boomer era politicians at the highest levels are USA and Russia. Even the Saudi's for all their backwardsness have a Gen X king. Merkel was the last of the continental boomers in the west. See what a change of direction that the end of her term has brought.

@rbreich The party has been in the midst of a "King Lear" moment, looking to pass the "kingdom" to the daughter who "loves them most".. Hillary sure wasn't the one. I think nothing that exists in the older set's world concept can really fathom how much the world has changed since the days when Bobby Kennedy had to travel 100 miles to walk poor neighborhoods to find a non-rich, non-white to speak to and shake hands with because none existed in Hyannisport. There is too much moving in the ocean now, too many currents. Intersectionality, critical race theory. People's minds have expanded light years and an entire galaxy beyond the intellectual horizons of the 1960's and 1970's.. No current Dem gray head currently represents modern thought or ideas, even if in a vague and general way they represent humane values. It's not enough, and the rank and file know this. The people in charge still can't see the disconnect. Neither could Lear. But just the same, currents were moving, people, agendas, actors, agents. It is no different in the real world right now, particularly on the left. Like someone who holds the glass so tightly that they end up spilling the entire contents, it seems like at the highest levels there is some Dem obsession with continuity and purity that has already cost the party and the country dearly.. 2 Trump administrations when there never should have been a first! The ones in charge are showing themselves to be the old and out of touch fools that they are. Playing by yesterday's playbook and yesterday's agenda while the country slides to the right and MAGA eats their lunch.

@rbreich shameful to doubt a politician who won on his own merits. He does represent his constituency. There is no sense to bash him nor to bash democrats over it. My suggestion: live with it.

@rbreich I listened to your segment on Democracy Now! yesterday. Well done.

@rbreich
Wait until you see how the world looks from the brics states' perspective. The world is already changing. It is the west that needs to get with the programme. Capitalism is dying. Let it.

@rbreich you are dreaming démocratie. Démocratie is without leader. if it is, It's the beginning of fascism.
Don't dream, fight and acte like Luigi. ;)
