If we want better candidates we should be prepping for 2028 and 2032 now. Not 2024. We have a big chance coming up. So many of the boomers that have been in control of all levels of government for the last several decades. Neocons and neoliberals are all dying out. And being forced to retire. Change is coming one way or another.
1/3 of all boomers are dead currently. That proportion will grow significantly for each coming year. Effectively reducing the power of that voting block. Which has been outsized for decades. And reducing their hold on the leadership of the parties which has also been outsized for decades. McConnell, pelosi, Schumer, Biden, and many more are all in that generation and all quickly approaching their cutoff.
During the primary isn’t really the time to be introduced to a candidate unless you are generally unengaged and uninterested in politics or the process. So it’s really too late to start trying to run new candidates, especially with Biden as the incumbent this cycle. The next two cycles should be significantly different. And we should start looking for and prepping candidates for it now. There are a number of younger Democrats etc that could fit the bil. But we need to start organizing for that now. Not in 2028 or 2032.
They care about you less if you don’t vote.
