The vision of the Democrat party delivering what you suggest seems to me only possible if the gerontocracy steps aside and lets the new, fresh voices, those that could get behind Bernie Sanders, for example, take their rightful places in the leadership of the party. Schumer, Pelosi and the rest are bone tired and devoid of vision, and anyway, it's RIGHT for the older generation in any organization to step back and let the new one take over the reins. The Democrats have behaved like Republicans when they have been in power, and the idea of "reaching across the aisle" in this current situation is laughable, and irresponsible...shall I say incompetent? The Democrats serve the same masters, especially the older generation, as the Republicans. They have been reluctant to use their power even when they had it. They have continually offered up weak and ineffective candidates for the presidency, including Hillary Clinton who was the quintessential "Good ol' boy" insider, only in a pantsuit. I'm a 70 year-old man, but I want to see Alexandia Occasio-Cortez, Ayanna Presley, Stacey Abrams, Beto O'Rourke and other GENUINE progressives come to the helm. That's where my votes will be going, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to see a progressive landslide in November.
