Blue no matter who is exactly how we got here. DNC needs to start now coming up with a platform and a viable candidate. They need to retire the geriatrics and start cultivating new young blood.

- queuebert 2y agoComments like this give me hope that we can pull through.
- drawkward 2y agoI used to be in Teach For America. It taught me a few things: -The vast majority of humans all want the same things, basically Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. -We are more similar than different. -Try to understand people's motivations before you criticize their politics. I've been approached by TFA-adjacent orgs on several occasions to try to get me to run for statewide office. I'd do it, except for the fact that it would mean an 80% pay cut. If I did not have a spouse and kids, it would be something to consider.
- qwerpy 2y agoThe flags on that comment take away a bit of my hope.
- dang 2y agoCould you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
- queuebert 2y agoExactly. Everyone has conveniently forgotten that he said in 2020 he would only serve one term.
- troyvit 2y agoMore like: How incompetent of a party can you be that you actually lose against a fascist?

- dredmorbius 2y agoHistorically notable fascists and dictators have been in at least part elected, going back to Roman times and with several significant 20th century examples, most especially the obvious ones. Populist extremists are, by definition, popular. Historically, democratic processes have not been sufficient to remove them, in general.
- account42 2y agoMaybe at least attempt to understand other people's position before screeching "fascist" at everyone you consider to be an opponent.

- ceejayoz 2y agoThe Constitution puts a minimum age on the Presidency. We have mandatory retirement ages for military, airline pilots, etc. We should consider it for Presidents, Senators, SCOTUS judges, etc. Not term limits, but abolishing the gerontocracy would probably help quite a bit.
- chikere232 2y agoA blue geriatric would do far less damage than this. Also, don't wait for an election, start protesting now. There may never be a free election again
- astroid 2y agoBlue geriatrics are the ones doing the damage... this is all made up, using circular references to anonymous third party sources. This is an active propaganda campaign with no basis in reality, and you are eating it up because you want it to be true to justify your emotions. 13 articles analyzed so far. All regurgitating the same anonymous sources. It would appear Project Mockinbird is alive and well, and doing a number on folks. This is BlueAnon tier reporting.
