    Part of the problem is running for office takes money, resources, etc. Young people are still more broke than ever and so it’s left to the same shrinking minority of people who are able to meaningfully engage with getting elected as in the previous generation. I want to be hopeful, but if the ‘new guard’ has all the same material interests as the old guard, I don’t think there’s going to be a meaningful change left to their own devices.
