> And I hope (but am not hopeful) that the left tries to mend their ways by refraining from pushing many (mainly white, straight men, but also others, like the religious) further from the Democratic party.

>> Both sides could do with a culling of the old and an infusion of new blood.

Don't know if I could have come up with a better example of the unhelpful language I'm talking about if I tried. Why would some white guy, say, in his 50s want to be on board with your "culling of the old" rhetoric?

I already said culling was a bad word for what I wanted to convey: I meant kicking out the old guard with new capable, smart, energized younger people who haven’t been bought by lobbyists yet or resigned themselves to campaigning most of the time they’re in office to just stay in office.
