Especially when the “Old Guard” is constantly assisting the Republicans.
Because they’re Republicans too
Money changes people. If it changes them down to their core, get them the f out
They won’t. Progressives need to motivate voters to have the old guard outvoted. Just need to give them a reason to show up.
I mean aren’t the primaries already done and the candidates locked
Absofuckinglutely!
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), however, has been among the most dismissive about these recent victories, warning of the rise of the “dirtbag left” within the party. He told Fox News on Saturday that it signifies a growing shift for the party.
The new guard is just as eager to grift. Just look at George Santos.
Edit: yes I know he is a Republican and not a Democrat. Same difference.
Wasn’t he a republican? And also a convicted felon.
I don’t think he has anything to do with the old or new guard in the democratic party, it seems like you’re just trying to argue in bad faith.
I am making the argument that just because someone is younger than the current politicians doesn’t meant they are better.
Could not agree more. It has become highly fashionable to start parroting a bunch of generational warfare nonsense.
People like Charlie Kirk and the groypers are definitely not old people. People in the broverse are clearly trying to indoctrinate young men into a lot of patent nonsense, many of these “influencers” are not old people, either.
People need to be judged on their merits, not the number of times they’ve been around the sun (beyond a certain threshold of being old enough to be running for office).
Tbf I think there’s a degree of correlation vs causation at play here. Career politicians who have been in office for literal decades are more likely to be out of touch with how the average person actually lives and newcomers are likely to skew younger.
What we need is fresh blood. The age of the actual politicians is more just a natural consequence of that than the goal.
Hey look another person trying to deflect blame away from Boomers.

Doesn’t matter if they are Republican or Democrat. Both sides are for the most part captured by corporate interests.
That is true to some degree, but there is no Dem Soc movement within the gop. I’m no fan of the democratic party, but there are some decent folks in it. Aside from a couple single issue allies, I can’t think of anyone decent in the gop.
“Old guard” isn’t referring to age, it’s referring to the neoliberal democratic establishment who are currently facing challenges from progressives and democratic socialists. George Santos is completely unrelated to anything that’s being discussed here.
