Weâre tired of the leadershipâs inaction and their lack of any significant speaking out. They send âstrongly worded lettersâ, or theyâre âchoosing their battlesâ. They should tell Americans why Trump is wrong and what Dems will do to fix it! Give people a reason & desire to vote for Dems everywhere!

ð¥ @danpfeiffer.bsky.social : âWeâre all going âhow can we get young people to stick with Democrats?ââ then thereâs a candidate they get excited about ( @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social ) and the Dem establishment & billionaires get together to torpedo his candidacy- to do it for Cuomo is unforgivable.â

(2,351 posts)The OP isnt shitting on anyone. The polls say what they say. Dems want change and accountability, including from people we voted for. Want to keep losing elections? Keep insisting that everything is fine, keep running the same candidates with the same formula, and watch the steamrolling into fascism accelerate. Or, the party can take a hard look at who is actually exciting Dems, and make some changes.

(6,068 posts)Bernie Sanders, for example, is currently touring the US and going to areas that swung for Trump in 2024. Are these people doing the same?

(2,351 posts)Bernie is OLD. Liz Warren is OLD. People adore them. Its not an age thing - its a speaking truth to power thing. We have some younger folks like AOC and Jasmine Crockett who are getting a ton of attention and fan base because they are not comfortable just holding their seat. Theyre working, speaking out, and exciting the electorate. Its no surprise that AOC has been touring with Bernie. So lets stop the comfortable half-truth about old vs. young, and realize we need more candidates AND POLITICIANS who get people revved up, hopeful, and active.

(48,165 posts)Not only because they are old but because they are too comfortable where they are. They have no skin in the game. Look what Pelosi did to AOC when she wanted to become the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee. She could have stepped up and been a mentor. Pelosi, who carries a lot of clout, chose to support an older man who was ill with a very agressive cancer. No seat in Congress should be used as a reward for friendship. No one is entitled to get a "it's my turn now card" .
As far as establisment is concered AOC is too young Bernie is too old. If you don't like me using the terms older and younger. I don't know what to tell you. Age is a real thing. Bernie is OLD. Liz Warren is OLD. So is Walz. But they inspire people. Not because of their age but in spite of it.

..
DEM voters are sick of their entrenched "establishment" and DEM "leaders" in WashDC
I will add the word some. As in Some voters are sick
..
From Schumer all the way down, there must be changes made to bring our party in line with todays voters. AOC, Jasmine Crockett, and others should be in line for major advancements. Members like Schumer, Pelosi, and other older long serving politicians, although did what they could for our country, must see this for themselves and begin to withdraw and allow the next generation to take over.
