    Again: the Republicans are evil but they are a serious political party that understands the need to recruit & promote young leaders. The Democrats are a job program for the superannuated.https://twitter.com/ryanlcooper/status/1337062429784743936 …

        They just find the one young dude who sounds like obama and then talk about them becoming the next presidential candidate. Who needs anything else?

        Why does it feel that the national Democratic Party functions like a sick parody of a union shop, with seniority more important than all else (including ability)?

        Which is to say, Republican voters are conservatives, Democratic voters are fans of the Democratic party

        this throws all my prejudices into a spin...I've long felt that one of the disasters of the last 10-15 years have been the conversion of politics into a gerontocracy...but it turns out by far the most evil calamitous party is the younger one. Damn you with your data!

        There are some efforts at recruiting the young, albeit from outside the party itself. https://runforsomething.net/

        Perhaps the Democrats see leadership as a perk of seniority, while the Republicans identify leadership early on.

        Or Koch et al funded a tea party takeover that installed a ton of new blood in a GOP takeover. They weren’t concerned with age or seniority as much as ideological purity. Their folk have been placing tons of younger judges into the system as well with little regard for experience

        Installing new blood and putting young smart committed ideologs into lifetime appointments seems like a great way to achieve your political goals.
