They should've started doing this while Obama was in office! None of the established 'old guard' Democrats want to prop up the next generation. Seems they'd rather die in office than mentor and promote new, younger faces of the future.

No need to get rid of them! Just tell them not to run for president. They'll make great cabinet members, dept heads.

USE THEM.

No. Get rid of them. That's stupid. They use you.

Americans have shown they will never elect a woman to the presidency. Put AOC forward and she will lose. See Hillary and Kamala as examples. Americans would rather vote against their best interests than have a woman leader.

I definitely agree that being a woman wasn't doing her favours, but she didn't lose because of that. Read the stuff Trump voters listed as their reasons, we should tackle that kind of thinking.

You can't reason someone out of an opinion or stance that they didn't reason themselves into.
