    A big need is inspiring younger people to vote and get them to believe voting is important. That’s an extremely tough battle and will only get harder the more establishment people the DNC puts up and the longer we’re stuck with a FPTP system. Young people want to hear they’ll be cared for just as much as older people. That they’ll have safety nets despite not having worked for as long, that they can more easily afford to live a decent life without much sacrifices. They also want to know that their friends and family will be cared for. This means no taking a “state’s rights” stance on people’s freedoms and protecting those they know abroad, including those in the middle east.

    This can also mean not playing nicely in politics to try and keep appearances. Trump is a dumbass, but a lot of young people liked him cause he went on the very vocal offensive and didn’t hold back a single thought. He was comfortable and confident in saying any stupid thought that entered his head. Dems care too much about appearances for them to sink that low which is harming them in this new era of politics and social media.
