How do the communication strategies of Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez differ from those of Schumer, and what role does this play in their respective connections with young voters?

Juliett's op-ed in Teen Vogue argues that the Democratic Party's failure to adopt bolder progressive policies on issues like transgender rights, climate change, student debt, and healthcare is driving young voters away. This is linked to the party's perceived embrace of centrist compromises, contrasting with the more assertive approach of figures like Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez, who leverage social media to connect with young progressives. The author's personal experience working for Schumer underscores the perceived internal conflict between progressive ideals and centrist compromises within the Democratic Party.
