Last night, I wrote some posts attacking the political viability of those who will be 50 years old or more in 2020.

I wrote these posts in anger against the “Democratic establishment” which is being excoriated as “neoliberal” and “elitist” for their screw-up of this and past election cycles, the Cold War-tinged sentiments which prevent this party from fighting for single-payer healthcare, and the incumbent party elders who fail the party and refuse to change their ways.

Since Super Tuesday, I have read many posts from my Facebook friends which have consistently ripped the Democratic establishment for “neoliberal” or pro-corporation overtures in their policy, especially in their endorsement of Hillary over Bernie. Many of these included overt wishes for the older generations of Democrats, especially those who endorsed Hillary, to “die off.”

I took precisely these posts to heart in the last two posts.

In the process, I ran over all 50+ year olds by advocating for political job discrimination against them. Kimberlyn called me out for ageism in the comments, and emphasized that it is unjust to advocate discrimination against older-aged people while I advocate for civil rights for LGBT people.

I admit that my posts were ageist, unjust and wrong-headed. I’m also starting to realize that those posts wishing for the older Dems to “die off” came from a place of ignorant, deep-seated hatred, and I should have been wiser to not even read those posts. I apologize and I’ve hidden both posts from my timeline.

I remain angry against everyone else mentioned, no matter their age.
