Good news but also butterfly meme.
Please, we need to get people in office who are at least young enough to know how to use social media correctly
At the very least people who were born AFTER color television.
How about a simple test: if you remember Kent State happening, you're now too old for office.
I’m 57. I remember where I was when Reagan was shot. I’m too old to be a politician.
Depends, were you celebrating Regan being shot?
Of course not. He lived
I remember being bummed that the bullet wasn't just a little more to the side for effectiveness.
No you aren’t.
There is no “too old to be a politician” since old people exist and need representation too.
We just ought to have representation that matches demographics, but that’s DEI and basically communism now or something
We need more young people to run in general. They can hire people to handle social media but we need people who are going to be directly impacted by the laws they pass.
Critical that the next generation are immune to AIPAC. That is the only way to break free of the Zionist chokehold
They need to be immune to so many different PACs. And they need to learn the lesson Biden and Kamala didn't: you actually get more funding my courting us, the people, than you do the corporations. Yeah, the corporations have more money, and they'll give you some, but they'll give more to the republican candidate, and what's more, there's more of us.
DNC hasn’t conducted a legitimate presidential primary since 08. That is EIGHTEEN straight years of effyou from the DNC. No signs they plan on wavering anytime soon. Your next candidate will be anointed for you.
Eighteen?! HA! Luxury!
We lost every state but Minnesota. Then we lost to an attack ad. Then we got a centrist. Then we lost to a war criminal. And that's just the national stage! Our red state candidates were BMW-driving dockers-wearing Sales weasels from central casting with as many progressive ideas as mistresses.

How about replacing Pelosi instead. We could use plenty like AOC tho.
One of them is primarying Pelosi.
Source? David Hogg has specifically said “not Pelosi” in recent weeks.
Personally, I’d love to see her ousted and we finally pass the STOCK Act in the following session.
She's getting challenged. It was announced before David made his statement though.

Jesus tap dancing Christ, I thought she left Congress when she gave up the speakership! Amazing and disappointing to learn differently…
Gotta keep that grift going
Good! That party needs a major shake up. Oh. And some damn balls(metaphorically speaking)
Yes to both of these. This is precisely what Democrats need.

That great news! Unfortunately my generation, including myself, did not step up.
Are you registered to vote?
Now is the time to do it. Definitely not in 2029 though.
No, because the election would be over by then.
Oof, 2028? I just woke up…
unfortunately some of the states where it was barely holding D, will be R next election. much like manchins state.
Someone becoming a brand name like AOC did is certainly possible, they just need to make room for themselves very quickly.
Let's be honest. The left is dying for anyone with half a brain and an entire heart to step up.
