AOC: We need new leadership in the Democratic Party

And she is of course right. The leadership is not only old but status quo and out of touch with the general public, particularly the young. At the very least they should be grooming newer, younger leaders who represent we the people. But they are apparently so stuck on their own influence and power, and the income and perks it generates from special interests, that it is their sole priority.  Quotes from this article:

"I do think that we need new leadership in the Democratic Party . [...] I think one of the things that I have struggled with — I think that a lot of people struggle with — is [that] the internal dynamics of the House has made it such that there’s very little option for succession, if you will. [...] The left isn’t really making a plan. [...] There are folks more conservative than even [current leadership] willing to kind of fill that void."

"The hesitancy that I have is that I want to make sure that if we’re pointing people in a direction, that we have a plan. And my concern — and this I acknowledge as a failing, as something that we need to sort out — is that there isn’t a plan. How do we fill that vacuum? Because if you create that vacuum, there are so many nefarious forces at play to fill that vacuum with something even worse."
