  1. It has to be something other than a 70+ year old white man who won’t stand up to anyone.

  3. If not her, somebody like her that is younger, whip smart, and passionate. 

  4. Establishment Dems: Ehh I don’t know, but Elissa Slotkin’s the real deal!

  5. The dems need to have younger leaders because the old ones keep dying off.

  6. This boomer agrees wholeheartedly! Jasmine Crockett, AOC, and a few others are exactly what we need in the Democratic Party leadership.

  7. But is it “her turn”? And she’s barely in her 40’s! I thought the goal was to fill all positions of power with people with less than 4 months to live?

  8. Jasmine Crockett is great – maybe not my first pick, but would be really happy with her leading the charge.

  10. No argument from me. The question is, will it fly. Will it lead to electoral success? Don’t be too quick to say yes just because it excites you. Half of your fellow Americans voted for an obvious conman, liar, idiot, traitor, Russian asset instead of a perfectly qualified alternative.

  11. Sure, but she’s not someone who will get elected President any time soon. 2016 hinted at it. 2024 confirmed it. Men will not elect a woman President.

  12. Corporate democrats are not the future. Working class democrats are.

  13. David Hogg may not understand that 40% of America isn’t going to vote for a black woman simply on her description :/

  16. If only she would stop making fun of people for being disabled. Or for that matter whether a woman’s body looks “butch.” It might be funny, but it’s unbecoming of a leader of a party (look at Trump).

  17. I don’t know who Hogg is or why he’s qualified to lead. He’s just a professional activist, right?

    Has he been elected to any public office?

  18. An endorsement from David Hogg is a kiss of death, dude is a loser

  19. Yes, I want a leader who refers to me as a “white boy.”

    Edit: No, really, racial slurs are not okay and should be disqualifying language for a politician.

    That might be an unpopular opinion. 🤷

  20. I don’t like David Hogg. Something about him rubs me the wrong way. And I think his inexperience shows. I think it would be a mistake for the Democrats to view him as a leader at this point. He’s just too green, and too confident in his beliefs. The Dems definitely need new, younger leaders with fresh ideas and the fearlessness to go against the GOP, but not this young and inexperienced. Crockett is a better option, or at least moving in the right direction. I think AOC is a good choice, as well.

  21. Of course he picks a progressive.

    Buttigieg is the the leader we need.

  22. And your going to lose election again. 2 two times should be enough to learn from mistake. 

  23. This is exactly what the Democrats need: someone to further polarize an already divided country.

  24. America isn’t ready for a female leader, much less one of color. I said this about Kamala and got downvoted last time, but look what happened.

  25. It’s an unpopular opinion here on Reddit, but progressives fail to grasp the reality that, before you can implement progressive policies, you must first win the election. Running a far-left, devisive candidate will not get them far.

  28. No, what is needed is someone who recognizes that bipartisanship was stupid and divisive in the first place and that, regardless of party leaders, as long as we keep trying to perpetuate a system of identifying as in either category “A” or “B” that this conflict among the people and tendency toward group extremism will always be inevitable.

    What we need more than a leader for “A” or “B”, is a **populace** that thinks in better and freer ways than their parents/grandparents and realizes that identifying with a party (instead of whichever candidate represents their own interests and has good qualities worth voting for) is completely irrational and irresponsible.

  29. Young democrats need an actual message besides “primary everybody with anybody young we can find! The base voters sucks!”

    You’re basically throwing huge amounts of shade on the base voters who have supported candidates all around the country and saying everyone’s got to go just for the sake of change.

  30. Hogg is an idiot and his politics will do nothing but hurt democrats further.

  31. God he just keeps doubling down on unbelievably bad takes. Jasmine Crockett…cmon bro

  32. This is the type of thing that only Reddit would agree with.

    I remember talking to people who were politically moderate at election time and none of them liked Kamala, but this sub was convinced (and even convinced me) that she would win. Everyone I know either doesn’t know or despises David Hogg, and feels the same for Jasmine Crockett. Anecdotes, for sure, but Reddit tends to be an echo chamber. I’m not saying she’s a bad person or doesn’t know her stuff, but this feels like something that only appeases the far left and will leave people asking in 4 years “why did we lose again”.

    That said, I agree that the corporate geriatric democrats leading the party need to go, sooner rather than later

  33. Nancy Polosi and Chuck Schumer need to move on. Their actions are now hurting the democratic party. Especially Nancy’s idiocy; she has fully proven she’s only here for power.

  35. Ofcourse the young establishment centrist picks another young establishment centrist as opposed to the wildly popular young progressive in AOC

  36. Don’t think he’s wrong here. 90 million sat out the election. We had a hard right Republican and a moderate/corporate Dem. And yet still… None of them voted. That leaves a Progressive on the table. Prove me wrong.

  37. What the Dems NEED is a bitter, tooth and nail, drag out primary system.

    Anointing anyone is going to yield continual failures in a democracy.

  38. Are we sure? Can’t we try another soggy piece of cardboard printed before WW2 ended? Maybe we can find people who are EVEN OLDER to lead the democrats.

  39. “people want to see somebody who fights and calls out the bulls***”

  40. AOC is the clear choice for Dem leader.
    Crockett should be House speaker or something to that effect.
    Regardless – younger members are key.

  41. First rule: Don’t nominate anyone eligible for Medicare.

  42. Dem leadership will ensure Crockett and AOC do not get any power as long as they possibly can. They’ll go to their graves working for that.
