I watched much of the GOP convention and will watch much of the Dems'. Night and day difference between the past and the future, between grievance/fear and hope/inclusion. The audience was truly diverse last night.
Nothing wrong with looking back a bit. Biden has a great legacy. It sets the stage for the future that Kamala is heading into.
To see AOC grow into her position and power was remarkable. To see Mallory McMorrow talk about Project 2025 was great. Watch out for Jasmine. The future of the Democratic party was on display and it looks good.
Florida has some of the best young Democratic pols (like Jared Moskowitz and Maxwell Frost) and some of the worst young Republican pols (sorry, my fingers refuse to type their names).
We are overlooked by the national Democratic Party, unfortunately, and I wonder when, if ever, the younger Democrats will receive the attention and support they deserve.
Gerrymandering has been part of the problem, but not all.
I agree. The Dems had focused a lot on the national scene, when the GOP turned to local and state offices. The Dems need to turn their attention to local and state offices, and to the rural areas. They need to make these investments, even if they don't pay off immediately. There are gettable voters here.

also Jared Moskowitz , though he could switch to hosting a late night show .
Yep. The Dems need to develop/continue to develop these guys, and others, at local, state and national levels.
