    You didn’t hear about the Georgia runoffs?

    You didn’t hear about the Senator who raised more money for a campaign than any other Senator in US history?

    One of the handful that Gen Z voters not only know but genuinely support and follow?

    The youngest Dem Senator since Joe Biden’s first term?

    Mate, just because you don’t recognize a name, doesn’t mean no one does.

    And it should be common sense that we should go with a name that non-voters know. Because they’re the votes we need. We’re talking about politics on social media, we’re both voting anyways.

    So yeah, name recognition is important, but we’re not the demographic Dems need to focus on, so it doesn’t matter if we recognize the name. We’re voting D regardless
