Obama and his generation are now fatally flawed. The Dems are turning to the older: the young have swallowed the sophist kool aid and become social justice warriors.

Or lost their blindfolds, and left progressivism, choosing to have a life.

When Obama came into the White House, it seemed like the Democrats had turned a corner generationally; at just 47, he was one of the youngest men to be elected as president. But the party has struggled to build a new generation of leaders around him. Eight years later, when he leaves office in 2017 at 55, he’ll actually be one of the party’s only leaders not eligible for Social Security. Even as the party has recently captured more young voters at the ballot box in presidential elections, its leaders are increasingly of an entirely different generation; most of the party’s leaders will fade from the national scene in the years ahead. Its two leading presidential candidates, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are 67 and 73. The sitting vice president, Joe Biden, is 72. The Democratic House leader, Nancy Pelosi, is 75; House Whip Steny Hoyer is 76 and caucus Chair James Clyburn is 75, as is Harry Reid, the Senate Democratic leader, who will retire next year. It’s a party that will be turning to a new generation of leaders in the coming years—and yet, there are precious few looking around the nation’s state houses, U.S. House or Senate seats.

Well, in the commonwealth, you are considered too old to be elected PM once you get to around 60. Key is 54, he may contest another election in two years, and that would be the third he will have won. Harper, Abbott, and Cameron are about the same age or younger.

People like Joe nor Hilary would be given a sinecure and eighteen months to draft their valedictory speeches. Not be seen as the future. The demographics of big progressivism is looking bleak.

And this is indeed a good thing.
