DU age poll

It's been a while since I have seen a poll on how old DUers are. How old are you? I am 41 but it sure doesn't seem that way! How time flies.

I know (I'm 37) that I've seen several posts that scream GET OFF MY LAWN and bash people for doing things like using smartphones instead of landlines.

There was also another that screamed age discrimination at a group who's main goal is to build a bench of young Democratic elected officials.

If you (generic) want younger people here, you need to be careful about posts that would turn them off.

I wish we had more, but I think we lost some during the primaries due to a candidate I won't name. That person turned them further against the party and organized politics.
