An interesting explanation of the dem party. This Explains why there is not a big fight like in the republican party.
From the article:
President Joe Biden is now 80 years old. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is 83. Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md. heis 83. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is 72, Senator Diane Feinstein, D-Calif., is 89. James Clyburn, D-S.C., is House minority whip and 82.
These are the official faces of the Democratic Party.
They came into power and maturity three decades ago during the Clinton years of 1993-1999.
Decades ago, they sometimes supported strong national defense, secure borders, gas and oil development, fully funding the police, and a few restrictions on partial-birth abortions.
Not now.
Their role has changed from that of liberals of the Clinton era to serving as the thin power-holding veneer that masks the new real Democratic Party.
Their final role is to acculturate the electorate to the new Democratic Party.
Its radicals are breathing down their necks to get out of the way. Yet for a while longer they still need such an ossified veneer of respectability to ease the transition to what is now essentially a socialist-European green party.
The role of a calcified Biden, Pelosi, Feinstein, Hoyer, or Clyburn is to reassure voters through their notoriety and apparently staid exteriors that they are hardly the sort to embrace revolution, although that is exactly what they do.
