12. I also think that Ken Martin has not been an effective leader for the DNC.

I thought it was a big mistake to kick David Hogg out of the DNC. i get daily emails from his group, Leaders We Deserve. Here's a paragraph from a recent one with a message from Jane Fonda.

"On Tuesday, July 14th, I’m teaming up with activist and Leaders We Deserve founder David Hogg for a virtual conversation about the future of our country, the power of primaries, and what it will take to elect leaders brave enough to meet this moment."

I have no clue how well Fonda will play with younger voters, but at least he is doing things to reach out to them. I'm unaware of Martin doing anything but occasionally asking for money.
