This especially hurts the Dems longterm, because if young people aren't excited about being part of the party, you can't develop new talent.

Maybe Buttgieg will become enough of a meme to get young people involved anyway. Worked for Trump, at least. Get Pete trending on reddit.

It's not a question of memes, this is dumb and reductionist "youths only care about SOME GIZMO" bullshit.

Though I really did know people who fell in love with Trump because of memes, which is incredibly depressing.

well i am disappointed pete did not win because hes roughly 100x a better advocate for democrats and leftism than perez or ellison

but i am happy ellison did not win because he seemed intent on empowering shitlords like ray buckley who are literally the worst possible elements of the democratic party

perez is a dem progressive pretty similar to your liz warren and sherrod brown types, his demonization is over the top imo. I don't like him much on a personal level but he would have been considered the extreme left candidate for a dnc chair job 24 months ago. Ideologicially he isn't really a big issue, he is just boring. I think he is absolutely miles to the left of DWS (or brazille) and will probably be an ok chair. I think everyone should focus on what matters which is running good candidates for offices and winning primaries and generals.

I think a lot of the people saying this did vote in the primaries.

If they were really committed to the party they would've participated in the primaries that mattered and donated a few million bucks.

my dad did a few months of Intel work in the navy back in the 70s and he said he mostly stared at high altitude photos of 3rd world poo poo hole harbours counting fishing boats

this is a Bad Post

military intel work is either squinting at photos to figure out if the dots are haystacks or tanks, or writing up long briefs of enemy capabilities that get ignored until historians cite them decades later
