Someone please explain

Maybe someone can explain this to me.

During the last presidential election, one of Hilary Clinton’s apparent weak points was her age.

In the 2018 mid-terms many young Democrats won, creating the Blue Wave, and the need for new blood and younger leadership became a major topic especially when it came to Nancy Pelosi.

One night when I was young, my mother came home from a meeting of the Canton Catholic Women’s Club, a parish organization, and announced she had resigned as the group’s president.

Her reason?

During a discussion of a proposed project, a woman about 20 years younger than my mother brought up her ideas how to approach it, and my mother responded by telling her that that was not the way the group did things. She heard those words come out of her mouth, and realized she had become a problem. In spite of the effective work she had done over the years, she saw herself at that moment as an impediment, and chose to remove herself from the position of power. She remained with the group and remained an energetic and productive member, but she had realized that once she had fallen into the way of thinking her words hadrepresented, it was best for her to step aside and let the younger members have their chance.

It was a lesson she passed on to me, and one I have held to.

I may have been very effective in my past advocacy and political activity, but there came a time for me to be happy with my successes, step aside, and take a supporting role as younger people with newer ideas and strategies moved things forward. Just because I was successful in a number of things, it did not mean I would be successful being involved in everything, and, even though my strategies and methods were successful during the time I employed them, it was important for me to accept that while my ideas might be just as important now as then, strategies and methods had to adjust to and keep up with the times, or failure would result.

A person has to accept that their leadership and strategies have a shelf life, as do those who supported them.

I have seen potential victories being turned into losses, not because the objective had no merit, but because the people in charge did not accept that their time was up and the baton should have been passed to those present and willing to take it up.

Progress by nostalgia won’t happen.

In the present political climate it is important that we geezers step back and allow future leaders the chance to blossom. And, listening to all the buzz in 2018, people want this to happen.

That people using the sobriquet “Progressive” would be promoting the strategy that future success and the need for new and younger leadership will happen if Bernie Sanders runs in 2020, seems to be a contradiction.

His being a resource and a promoter of progressive ideas is one thing, to be the embodiment of those things and the person to be relied on to bring them about seems to go against the idea of younger people with newer ideas and approaches being given the opportunity to be trained for leadership roles and being ready to assume them.

Rather than looking to the older people to create the future they will not see, isn’t it better to look at the younger whose future it is and so have a greater stake in it?

Progressive groups claim to be committed to elect as many progressive Democrats to DC as possible, but are shouting “Run Bernie. Run.”

This needs to be explained to me.
