141. Yes and no
Yes---of course younger people think differently than older people. They have been conditioned by different things in different ways. But age is not why there is "discord"---in a free and progressive society there will always be a free exchange of ideas, much more so in progressive circles than conservative circles. And, by default, since the Democratic party has a more liberal bias, then progressives will lean toward the Democratic party. But if the Democratic party abandons the ideals and principles that define a progressive society, then progressives will not support the Democratic Party.

We are not loyal to the Democratic Political Party, we are loyal to the underlying principles of progressivism.
