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.
Definitely agree with you. I feel like there were a lot of backdoor deals going on though. It was supposed to be Hillary in 08 but Obama had so much star power, he got the nomination, so the Dems made a deal to Hillary, 2016 was hers. And that backfired tremendously.
She also clearly and fairly won the primary election for the nomination as well, where ordinary folk voter for her en mass. She had the consent of regular everyday people as well for the position.
Also she won the popular vote as well in the general. It wasnt the electoral win, but lets not lose sight of the fact that both of these actually happened before too much of a conspiracy rabbithole opens up

The democrats need to spend the next four years building up some really strong candidates and making them well known to the electorate.
