At the end of the 60's it was don't trust anyone over 30.

Senator Chuck Schumer’s sudden decision on Thursday to support a Republican-written bill to avert a government shutdown so enraged his fellow Democrats that some were already talking about primary challenges to the 74-year-old Democratic leader from New York.
The eruption of anger about Mr. Schumer’s seeming surrender thrust into public view a generational divide that has emerged as one of the Democratic Party’s deepest and most consequential rifts.
Younger Democrats are chafing at and increasingly complaining about what they see as the feebleness of the old guard’s efforts to push back against President Trump. They are second-guessing how the party’s leaders — like Mr. Schumer, who brandishes his flip phone as a point of pride — are communicating their message in the TikTok era, as Republicans dominate the digital town square.
And they are demanding that the party develop a bolder policy agenda that can answer the desperation of tens of millions of people who are struggling financially at a time when belief in the American dream is dimming.
In other words, the younger generation is done with deference.
Some who argue for more militancy in opposing Mr. Trump say the party’s elders tend to be less comfortable with the type of unbending political warfare that is called for.
“Our party needs more of a fighting spirit,” said Representative Chris Deluzio, a 40-year-old from outside Pittsburgh. “This is not a normal administration, and they’re willing to do dangerous things.”
The split is “not solely along generational lines,” he said. “But I do think the newer, younger members maybe get this intuitively.”
Mr. Deluzio said that Democrats elected before the Trump era tended to be shaped by fond recollections of comity and camaraderie across the aisle. “Those of us who are a little younger or have come to the Congress more...

Oh no, look out for tic toc temper tantrums.
Yep. Can’t rent a mob anymore now that USAID has been shutdown. Boo hoo.
LibSpeak for "Morons".
So I wonder how the vote will actually go?
Yeah, gimme some RAT-on-RAT violence!
AND-a shutdown.
The Dems declined right after JFK (who many say would be a moderate conservative by today’s standards) and imagine how low they are all these years of continuing and stronger decline later.
Impatient with how the Schumer and Pelosi old guard is destroying America too slowly. The younger generation is always impatient to change things.
Polls show the majority of the youngest new voter age group believes “socialism” is better than our system.
And roughly 40% cannot properly place which was first and second: World War II and the Civil War.
Are those the same morons that support not deporting the Muslim traitor Mahmoud Khalil?
LOL. Poor Chuck is way too old to understand much less deal with the Gen Z Dems.
yes.
Very likely.
Good point.
It appears Soros was not paying for rent a mob, he was just populating the local judiciaries with corrupt DA's.
Chris Deluzio.... another of the bumper crop of America-hating officers our service academies have been cranking out the last couple of decades.
It is tempting to gloat over Schumer’s surrender on the Continuing Resolution. Yet I worry that it was a tactical retreat to allow the GOP to fail in reconciling differences between the House and Senate on the budget. Schumer is still a manipulative SOB.
Rather than drinking the Kool aid, let them eat cake.
Young Dems see an opportunity to gain the rule of the Democrat Congress.
Grab a popcorn and hang on!
Put them all in an armed cage match.
LOL. Love the alliteration....
