@nytopinion: From Abdul El-Sayed to James Talarico and Rob Sand, this election cycle has revealed a new class of millennial talent in the Democratic Party. On “The Ezra Klein Show,” the polling analyst Nate Silver explains why he thinks these candidates are the result of what he calls the “Steph Curry effect.” #theezrakleinshow #nytopinion
As an elder millennial, it’s not really about talent. We have no choice, we have to take care of business. And we will

There should be an age and term limit. I say this as a 60 year old genX. Some of these politicians are too old and out of touch with what most working Americans care about and need.

As an older millennial myself, we're primarily the ones that are going to help lead this charge against fascism in the Republican party and help push out the boomer corporate Democrats. Most everyone my age gets it. We understand how the world works.

Why are all Xers catching strays? Us baby Xers/elder millennials are the same pool. Don't group me (anyway) with the elder Xers. 😭

I’m an elder millennial and I’m sure I’m biased, but I think the millennials are so refreshing. They aren’t as politically correct aka fake seeming. They’re a little more blunt and seem willing to stand up to bullies

the reason we're seeing millennial political talents and not so much Gen x is because the boomers kept Gen x down and we needed the internet to override that.

Talarico is the most compelling. We need to see if Ossoff has a sense of humor.

As a Gen X, you love to see it. I think a lot of Gen X just never stood up to serve politically because we all believe that certainly someone else is far more qualified, more talented, more energetic and cares more to do the job.

what is with the cess pool quality of comments on this post. I think millennial talent is a big part of the next iteration of promising Democrats, though not all of the new successful crop is millennial. Adam Hamilton for instance seems to be achieving something similar, though maybe with a little bit less of that "youthful energy." He strikes much of the same tone

Ossoff’s mentor was civil rights leader John Lewis. He has a mix of old and new democratic values.
