If you’re a young democrat and you go to DC wanting to get involved with the party, they will give you many hoops to jump through. They will tell you you’re not good enough, you don’t have the right connection, too progressive, etc. They will then call you a year later to offer you a volunteer position on a campaign in Iowa with no way to make income to pay off your student debt or help you pay the bills between elections.
If you’re a Republican and you go to DC looking to get involved with the party, they will usher you right in to any number of think tanks or PACs with plenty of ways to make money while you help Republicans get elected.
No, I’m diagnosing a problem with the Democratic Party. They tell enthusiastic youth to go pound sand when they want a job, unless they’re willing to work for free. But, Republicans have a pipeline that brings people in.
You have to remember, there are always more openings for arsonists than architects. The republicans aren’t hiring nobody’s because they believe you deserve a free shot, they are paying pennies on the dollars for your morality.
I may not agree with what the liberals are building, but at least they are building something.
I think I see what you are saying but that’s a terrible metaphor. Is it an old saying I didn’t know? I don’t think arsonist is a paying job; there are waaaaayyy more opportunities to be an architect than to professionally illegally set buildings on fire.

It sounds like Republican “think tanks” and PACs have more money to spend
Of course they do, they are funded by the 0.1% to make sure they keep their money.
So… Are you telling young people to just be republicans?

Hmm I’d need to see some numbers, that could be the symptom of an entirely different issue.
Democratic party could have far more young people showing up to help, but can’t accommodate them all as a result
Republicans could be facing a total young person shortage and that’s why their pipeline feels superior
You know this from personal experience, I am guessing?
I started my career trying to work in politics. Now I sold my soul to the tech industry where I can at least earn a living.

There are only 37,000 members of the Army Corp of Engineers and there are 452,000 members of the US Army in total!
Clearly that means there are more than 10x as many arsonists as architects!
And we wonder why the Dems are out of touch with everyday people who live paycheck to paycheck.
What could we expect from a former SoH claiming her understands our struggles while eating $96 a gallon ice cream?
