The Democratic Party has been criticized for maintaining a gerontocracy — being ruled by the elderly — instead of shifting direction with a new generation of voices. Dr. David B.

Cohen is also director of UA’s Applied Politics program and a fellow of the Ray C. Bliss Institute of Applied Politics.
