      Interesting @sarahlnrd piece on why socialists are either very old or very young: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/16/opinion/sunday/sanders-corbyn-socialsts.html?_r=0 …

      There's an interesting flipside to piece which is that there is a missing generation on the left: people ages 35-65.

      The are leftists in that missing cohort of 33-65 but they tend to be fewer in number, often crank misanthropes (no names).

          I accept the leftist analysis usually, but not their remedies. Have always been at the centrist end of my leftist friends (age 64)

          There's fewer Gen X people in every political cohort -- there are fewer of us.

          Simplest explanation the cohort is aware of the Reagan & bush administrations dominance. So they are trained to try to hold the center.

          You aren't looking in the right places. I've spent my entire career working for non-profits and that doesn't match my experience.

          Jeet, doesn't this overlook the generations that created ACT-UP, the global justice movement, etc.? Not electorally focused, but very left.
