Honestly, I tell GenZers to vote for DC Democrats to stave off the apocalypse, but keep expectations low.
The real fights, and successes, are happening at the state and local levels where flipping even one seat has tremendous consequences, and states with a Democratic trifecta are passing progressive and pragmatic legislation at lightning speed.
Money and resources should be poured into local campaigns, not the DNC or DCCC.
Eventually there will be a new generation of leaders in DC, who can actually lead, communicate, and follow-through, but until then, just check the boxes for the the (D) to stem the erosion of civil rights at the national level, and focus on the fighters in your own back yards.
