Dems have a real future in generational talents like AOC and now Mamdani.
But instead of seizing on them, party leaders poo poo their ideas and damn them with faint praise about how they’ve energized young people *where they are* but aren’t really a model for anywhere else.
GOP doesn’t do this.

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen.
Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.
