MD-05: Former 'Jeopardy!' contestant (D) challenges Hoyer, emphasizing age difference

35. I disagree with some of his points like:

“I’ve seen from the inside how the Democratic Party has totally lost touch with working people,” Jarin said. “We didn’t present a vision of the future or politicians that people could relate to, and that’s what opened the door for Trump and extremist Republicans to take power.”

I pretty much disagree. but if this is the perception, we better damn well address it.

“Politicians in their late 80s like Steny Hoyer simply don’t know how to communicate in the era of social media,” he continued. “Democrats have to recognize how badly we’ve failed and change course if we want to win.”

We didn't fail that badly but but we did fail, and a course correction definitely needed, and I know some oldies who communicate just fine in the era of social media.

But I am glad to see this challenge. I hope Steny retires.
