Age is a factor sure. But Democrats need to stop being centrists and move left if they have any hope in appealing to the masses. The DNC needs to also reflect this change. Otherwise they'll just push for a moderate like Biden again.
I don't think that's true. The majority of the U.S. isn't as left leaning as we'd like to believe they are.
Edit: Downvote all you want. Lemmy is a very left leaning site, and not at all representative of the wider population.
You're right but I don't think the general population is as right leaning as they believe they are, either. It's a team they root for and identify with.
Anecdotally, I have very conservative family members who will agree with many progressive ideas until they realize they're agreeing with democrats. Then they're pissed!
