✍️ Young people in the US are looking for Democrats to embrace economic populism and authentic candidates willing to fight for them, says the new leader of NextGen America, an organization dedicated to youth voter mobilization.
👉 Young people are anxious about their financial future and the rising cost of housing, food, and education. 👉 The focus groups praised progressives Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez for their willingness to fight and directly address economic concerns. 👉 Democrats failed to engage with young people and were seen as weak, too willing to roll over, and disconnected from everyday concerns. 👉 NextGen America is exploring new methods, such as an artificial intelligence chatbot on community platforms, to encourage voter registration.
