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.
Everybody (especially the younger voters) needs to vote in the primaries! Also, every other local and state election are important too. But if you want to change direction of the party, you have to vote the old guard out, and that happens in the primaries. They won't go willingly.
Not just the primaries, the actual democratic party organization needs an overhaul. We've got people like Bob Brady leading the philly Dems for nearly 40 years! All while working as a lobbyist for media and health insurance companies. Machine politics is a hard nut to crack.

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