But the candidate I would have preferred dropped out before I could vote. Then Warren dropped out. I was really hoping for some one younger than the Biden, warren, Sanders troikia. I was hoping that DiFi would have relinquished her seat ladt election to give CA a start towards seniority in the senate.

The long and the short of it is that Bernie seems incapable of change.

He didn’t examine his campaign and evaluate why it failed in 2016.
He didn’t address the problem with blowing off and insulting so called “establishment” Democrats.
He never understood the basic idea that maybe he should build relationships with party leaders if he wanted to be the nominee.
He never added policy rigor to his expansive policy proposals.
So he doubled down. And failed even more dramatically.

Elizabeth Warren when confronted for calling her a liar on public TV.

Many may think the attitude of my way or the highway, becoming petty when losing is not my idea of a person I would vote for.

HUGE.

I have standing to comment on this because for the last 5 years I served on our towns Democratic Committee, half of that time as Chair. In that role I did the grunt work that a political party needs done, and I did so as an overt supporter of Bernie Sanders. It isn't just Sanders supporters who it is difficult to get involved at the trench level, it is anyone under 55, and those over 55 aren't easy to recruit either. We struggle to find ANY Democrat wiling to join our local Democratic committee

One of our County's leading grass roots organizers for Bern Sanders in 2016 went on to get elected as one of our County's official State Committee Members, representing our County to the Stat Democratic Party, and she has been excellent in that role. She wasn't involved with the official Democratic Party prior to getting involved on behalf of Bernie Sanders.

The Democratic Party faces a generational challenge. Bernie Sanders did not create the alienation from mainstream party machinery that younger Americans increasingly exhibit, his rise is a reflection of that, not the cause for it. Are you finding flocks of young Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden supporters jumping feet first into Democratic Party infrastructure organizing? I'm not.

candidates. We flipped several suburban city councils, school boards, and state house seats last November.

For a change, some of the work and a lot of the exciting ideas are being generated by people in their 30's and 40's and our candidates are in the same age group. Our county chair and executive director are the epitome of hard work, generous spirit and good humor. We are blessed.

I wouldn't count on twenty-somethings for "infrastructure organizing", they are simply not as committed to the community or organizational structure as older people or even people just a decade older. Hopefully, they'll get there.

I live in a fairly rural, but lightly blue, area, and truth be told we are under populated in the 20 to 50 demographic. People in their 30's and 40's getting involved is a true blessing. We started seeing a little more of that starting with the 2018 election
