While we're waiting to watch (eep, I hope) a new generation sweep into political power -- in some cases, against the wishes of Democratic elders -- here's the piece I published yesterday on the party's gerontocracy:

Teen Vogue was one of the only outlets that took young people seriously as political actors and covered how they're organizing, voting, and being impacted by state + national legislation.
