[SIZE=5]On one side are the young progressives lead by AOC and Ilhan Omar and they are supported by the social media young thugs like Zuckerberg who habours dreams of being president right NOW if not tomorrow. These kids want things now, right now. And they are not taking no for an answer. They want green energy and defunding police NOW!![/SIZE]
[SIZE=5]On the other side are the old guard, the old slay queens and kings who have been around for decades since the 1950s going for plastic surgery every two months. These include Pelosi, Biden, Hillary, Schumer etc. Old conmen. Real gangsters. Wealthy. Snake tongues. Corrupt to the core.[/SIZE]

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Sunday disagreed with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s claim that Democratic leaders haven’t been assembling a new cohort to take over the party.
“Why does AOC complain that you have not been grooming younger people for leadership?” the CBS News host Lesley Stahl asked Pelosi during a “60 Minutes” interview.
“I don’t know,” Pelosi replied. “You’ll have to ask her — because we are.”
“That was kind of sharp, kind of dismissing her,” Stahl said in response.
“I’m not dismissing her. I respect her,” Pelosi said. “I think she’s very effective, as are many other members in our caucus that the press doesn’t pay attention to. But they are there, and they are building support for what comes next.”
These comments came after Ocasio-Cortez told The Intercept in December that Pelosi, 80, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, 70, needed to be replaced as the heads of the party. Other high-ranking Democrats include House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, 81, and House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, 80.
“We need new leadership,” the New York progressive said. “The internal dynamics of the House has made it such that there is very little option for succession.”
