      It's time for a generational change in the Democratic Party, it's time for the 80 year-olds who run it to start letting the 70 year-olds have some input to bring in youthful vigor.

      Democratic party leadership is on average 10 or 15 years older than Politburo was in 1980s.

          As a young man, I remember watching TV reports about the USSR: a decadent & complacent gerontocracy; bogged down in an Afghan war; its vast hinterlands poor & despondent; its urban pockets overcrowded with apartment-dwellers; birth rates plunging.

          I remember moving to America in the 1980s and hearing jokes about how in my native Poland people had to wait in bread lines, multiple generations had to share apartments, there would be brown outs, etc. Weird to see what's happening

          They are unprepared for what's in store for the party because they are incapable of imagining it.

          Proportional electoral systems elect several times more young people than our winner-take-all system. An opportunity to introduce proportional representation to US House elections exists in the form of the #FairRepresentationAct (HR 4000). https://www.fairvote.org/fair_rep_in_congress#why_we_need_the_fair_representation_act …pic.twitter.com/jidbhFKsjj

          it's really fun to imagine what someones reaction would be if you went back to 1990 and told them that the united states would be in the same situation as the USSR in exactly 30 years

          In 1991, I muttered that now that we had beat the Soviets, we would somehow recreate it in DC. ubiquitous wiretapping/surveillance/war in Afghanistan/LumpenProletariat.... Anything missed?
