Should we just hand control of the Party over to AOC?

2. I don't believe we should scuttle everything to please Gen Z

There is wisdom, experience, timing. The clockwork of politics as it developed over time. The principles of democracy dating from ancient Roman Empire. The foundation of the Enlightenment. We faced similar terrain when Nixon won reelection. How did that work out for us?

Let youth study Machiavelli, Hobbes, Montesquieu, Locke, Rousseau - the great political philosophers. To govern you need to please and convince naysayers and the other side, not just yourselves. If you want one-sided government, you have Republicans and MAGA and Trump. We risk becoming a much smaller party in opposition if we shed our leaders in favor of firebrands. Witness the fracture of moderation in multiple European countries. They call elections twice a year sometimes.
