Is this the sort of thing that’s going to get Gen Z excited about progressive politics? I doubt it. I’m no 17-year-old, but when social media is filled with videos of masked immigration officers indiscriminately attacking protesters and separating children from their families, I don’t think what young people want is a “progressive content hub.” I might be going out on a limb here, but I think what Gen Z wants is for their elected officials to do something that actually helps their constituents. Does this feel like the right time for a Substack essay?

Pokémon GO isn't popular anymore. What else would you have them do!?
Maybe try eating some ice cream and shaking a few hands. Ffs, DO SOMETHING instead of this bullshit happy clappy farce you call campaigning.
How disconnected are they? They cut the cable.
I can't help but feel it's intentional. So many people are waiting for someone to step up and lead, but it's almost like the Democrats are avoiding effective leadership.
I'm still on the "controlled opposition" train. When my politically challenged ass can point out major flaws in campaign strategy for an organization with millions upon millions of dollars of funding, it makes one start to wonder.
you lost your chance when you "Gave up" WHEN THE machines were obviously rigged.
