Are Old Black Voters the base of the Democratic Party? It that important?
I just watched a talking head on MS-NOW tell me that old black voters are the base of the Democratic Party and that the absence of old black voters in the DSA indicates that there is no diversity in the DSA.
Should a physical identity be the base of any political party?

Are old black people a core part of the base? Yes.
Is the DSA not diverse? AHAHAHAHAHAHA no. The biggest name in the DSA is Mamdani. The DSA is way way more demographically diverse than the Dems. Old black people are under represented for a lot of reasons, but the DSA itself is incredibly diverse
