Pay attention to David Hogg. I've been reading stuff from his organization's website, and this young man has the energy, vision, and attitude this party needs right now. We need more of AOC, Jasmine Crockett and yes, I'll say it, Bernie Sanders, and less of the stone cold silence we've been hearing for the past two months.

1. Agree. I posted on this yesterday..time for some fire in the belly and I'm all for a new generation

To make it happen.

[Fullduplexxx]

2. a changing of the guards

[elleng]

3. Thanks. I'm happy to think of those you've mentioned,

and there are many others around TOO!!!

We see them every day, don't we?

4. Yes they need to start fighting,publicly for us.

The most basic of Democratic party issues,the minimum wage,was not even brought up during the campaign.

[question everything]

6. With so many capable Democrats, that so many here see a non-Democrat Sanders as the savior

then something is really wrong.

And, to blame ageism on AOC loss will never get us anyplace. She irritated many be thinking that she could turn things upside down to her ideas. Does not work this way.

8. I think party loyalty is a bit over-rated.

It's the political position that counts. And Sanders gets it.

[question everything]

11. And he is laughing at us for not demanding that he would do what he does in Vermont

[dchill]

10. I can't think of any of AOC's ideas that I'd have to be...

...turned upside down to agree with.

[KitFox]

7. I always feel hopeful listening to him and other

young people. I see them on Lawrence’s show. Florida rep Maxwell Frost, Mich st sen Mallory McMorrow, the 2 Justins (Jones and Pearson) st Tenn reps who were expelled and reran and won, Anderson Clayton the young 26 year old woman N Carolina dem party chair. I wish Katie Porter would run again.

[Mr.Bee]

9. We need more of AOC, Jasmine Crockett

Time for Nancy Pelosi and the old guard to pass the baton!

[question everything]

12. Pelosi did. Two years ago, to Hakeem Jeffries. Or did you miss this?

[Mr.Bee]

13. and that's why we now have Gerry Connolly instead of AOC

Insanity run by remote-control.

[question everything]

15. AOC is not qualified for this job. Something it is a matter of qualifications

[Gore1FL]

18. By what measurement? nt

[SleeplessinSoCal]

14. I donated for 3rd time since the election.

This time to AOC's group.

I feel strongly that Pelosi needs to stay out of the discussion about the future of the party. Time and time again she's held us back, while promising wins, yet delivering losses.

16. From Senator Sanders Senate website

Until he joins the Democratic Party, he can stay the hell out of it!

[KPN]

19. I suppose the same goes for anyone else who doesn't fall in line

and play by Sam Rayburn’s rule: “You have to go along to get along.”

[Cirsium]

17. I agree

I agree. However, there will be plenty of people who will scold you and lecture you, and tell you how wrong you are and how we need to stay the course.

Before the election: "Democracy hangs in the balance!"

After the election: "Nothing to see here. No need for any big changes."
