No Democrat Has the Brains or Courage to Not Be Crazy
Town Hall ^ | 13 July 2026 | Kurt Schlichter

Posted on 07/13/2026 1:29:05 PM PDT by Rummyfan

There’s a big empty lane within Democrat politics, and unfortunately for the Democrats, no one seems to be smart or brave enough to merge into it. What’s that lane? It’s the “Not being completely crazy while also not being completely ancient” lane. It really is that simple. Someone could swoop into that electoral sweet spot, but so far, no one has seen fit to take the risk and fight the fight to capitalize—though they all do hate capitalism—on this tremendous opportunity. All they have to do is just act normal and not be a million years old to distinguish themselves and maybe win by appealing to normal people again.

That’s really all there is to it. Instead, they’re crowding the freak lane while leaving the normal lane empty. Several Democrats who were born after the Jurassic Age have danced around it, but none have committed. It’s apparently too much to ask that they not be complete Leftist freaks.

Let’s get the easy part out of the way, which is not being old. The Democrat Party is a gerontocracy. As we’ve seen, the boomer generation has clutched onto power, sucking the lifeblood of the young to keep themselves in office forever. U.S. Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi (CA-11), former president Joe Biden, U.S. Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters (CA-43), and many others—what do they have in common besides a relentless commitment to Moloch? They think Methuselah is a whippersnapper. Only now are they beginning to loosen their grip, and that’s simply because they’re literally too old to maintain it.

What you see now inside the Democrat Party is not so much a fight over ideology—as we’ll see, socialism has been the ideology of the Democrat Party for decades, and now they’re moving into full-scale communism.

ALSO the Republican Party has moved leftward and toward big government also.

So any Democrat who still loves the country but is all for the welfare state can find a home in the GOP.

That leaves the place for race-marxists and America-haters to be the Democrat Party.

I don't want to sound crude but the Democrats have a "P" word problems among the old school types, particularly the men, who know communism (There is no such thing as DSA-type "socialism") is wrong but they lack the courage to stand up to the Marxists. They are simply a bunch of P-words. To them attaining political power is everything, country be damned.

I'll leave it that.

Sounds like Obama, but he's already shot his shot. Besides, he's having too much fun with his personal chefs.

Another 'gift' Trump gave us is he dumped ancient Republican 'experts', advisors and department/staff bigs. His administration LOOKS young because they are young.

Democrat old boomers want powerless young men to prop up their power NOT to have power - that's why they don't care what kind of idiots are picked to run under the democrat banner.

Platner in office would have been a powerless zero. Along with the other lightweights democrats are running to prop up their old men.
