But her larger point is that Dems need to consider abandoning our commitment to “seniority”.

Traitor utterly shook up the entire GOP and threw out almost every old guard person and idea, and legit won in 2024. There’s no more seniority in the GOP - every last Cheney, Bush, David Brooks, Mitch McConnell etc has been sidelined or thrown out.

It’s a cult of personality which Dems can’t/won’t replicate but what they have done is put in new people (for worse imo, obviously) top to bottom and won. Seniority means shit in the GOP.

Is that the key to success? I do know we can’t keep shutting down young people because it’s “not their turn” or a Dem with more years in the party must be prioritized over a younger more dynamic fighter
