9. Fact from Rosenberg: there are 450 in the DNC leadership -- didn't know that.

Hogg on youth oriented politics...

-- In this cycle, the youth vote -- Millennials & Hispanics -- shockingly left at a 20 point shift because they saw the party not listening. As the party thinks right now, there is no pathway to winning with that shift; there is no way of consulting our way out of this shift;
-- yet there is no one at DNC meetings under the age of 18-29 year olds, voters who were in h.s. during covid;
-- we need to listen to youth on the ground more than to party consultants;
-- the party has to work harder to live by the New Deal;
-- the party must deal with the Big Five: expanding costs of childcare, elder care, college tuition, housing, healthcare

There will be no future of the Democratic Party, there will not be a Blue Wall if it doesn't deal with the Big Five and costs of public and higher education in general.
