👉 Young Democratic challengers are running on generational politics alone, emphasizing their youth and generational change. 👉 This approach sidesteps substantive politics and ignores the party's decline due to its servility to corporate donors. 👉 The candidates often lack a clear political platform and organizing bona fides. 👉 The emphasis on youth and generational change can be seen as a false spring, as it does not address the root causes of the party's decline.
