‘Batons are never passed, they’re taken’: A far-left youth movement eyes Democrats’ senior leaders
The Washington Times ^ | Monday, December 1, 2025 | Mallory Wilson

A revolution is building inside the Democratic Party.

Left-wing activists are noticing a growing number of young Democrats disenchanted with the party’s older leaders. The younger Democrats say the old guard isn’t solving the country’s problems and doesn’t share their increasingly favorable views of socialist policies.

“Americans have long been ready for the political revolution [that Sen. Bernard] Sanders has talked about, but the party and the D.C. elite haven’t been,” wrote Alexandra Rojas, executive director of Justice Democrats, which works to elect young, far-left Democrats.

“Aside from the many polls that highlight the national popularity of Sanders and the policies he supports over the last eight years, voters have made it abundantly clear that it’s time to usher in a new generation of leaders who won’t act like doormats for Trump and Elon Musk,” she wrote this year. “They see this party — just like our government and our economy — as captured by the wealthy few.”

The Democratic Party’s image eroded to its lowest point in more than 30 years, with 63% of voters expressing an unfavorable view, according to a Wall Street Journal poll in July.

These little pissant activists haven’t lived long enough to even have a valid opinion, and they certainly don’t have the study skills to educate themselves regarding the real ‘facts’ of any issue.
But, still, they insist on being heard; believing that louder is the way to make their points.
We are heading the wrong way in the US, today. We need to right this ship...quickly.

There are so many jacobins drilling holes in the hull. Righting the ship requires the sabotage to be stopped first.

Public execution of Elissa Slotkin would be my recommendation. Let CNN take their cameras to her 3:00 am raid.

Pure BS. In relay races batons are never taken, they are passed.

Democrat thugs don’t do either.

They mug the baton holder, kick the baton holder while they are on the ground, taunt them with “whitey” chants, and then steal the baton and run off with it.
