New generation is meaningless if it keeps upholding the old generation policies.

...do you actually believe that's what's happening, or are you just too naive to accept any progress that isn't the full scope of your ideals?

That is exactly what's happening. The only ones that are ever going to gain any influence within the party are the ones that have vowed to uphold the status quo. The status quo that has been built by generations prior.

We stand on the shoulders of giants.

Or as the young people say, we didn’t just fall out of a coconut tree.

What a weirdly sycophantic way of praising what is arguably the most corrupt House, Senate, and Supreme court this country has seen since the robber baron days.

I'm interested in how you square the circle between this fantastic view of American exceptionalism with the clear statement that voters have made that they absolutely DO NOT WANT politicians like Biden or Clinton leading them, and basically stand in disgust of institutions like the House and Senate, where House members are clearly using their positions to increase their personal wealth.

It seems that your tribe and my tribe are not the same.

64000 people just donated over $120 million to the inherent nominee in 3 days, me being one of them. You call that corruption whereas I call it hope.

You see what we got last time a presidential candidate talked about hope. We got fucked and corporations got richer
