labile |ˈlāˌbīl; -bəl| -- liable to change; easily altered. • of or characterized by emotions that are easily aroused or freely expressed, and that tend to alter quickly and spontaneously; emotionally unstable.
I think a part of that is the voters (regardless of age) who are new to the process. And that process, as we know is a long and extended thing, far more measured than the rush of a single campaign. This is not about choosing a team and then razzing the opposition, but about making real change happen over time. Clinton assumes we know this, and Obama has stated this also - so there should be no disagreement on that.
Rather than yelling at each other, if the more experienced teach these newer activists to listen rather than lecture, to persuade rather than argue, we will be a much stronger party. This would then make us stronger as we support the new president and more democratic congress (those should go together if current trends hold) to pass all of these bills we are proposing.
Experienced citizens like you and others here. Now, THAT is what passing the torch is about. :hi:
