Young people across the United States this past week are getting a taste of the politicking that goes on inside campaigns. Young people, who are trying to become "pledged delegates" to the Democratic National Convention, got emails from campaigns essentially saying "thanks, but no thanks."
Campaigns are cutting people of all ages off the lists of potential delegates and the cutting is allowable under the rules, so campaigns are not doing anything unusual.
The big difference this time around is the record number of young people running as pledged delegates--and therefore a big portion of the number of people getting cut. This is obviously causing some friction between the message they hear from campaigns and the message they are getting in their inbox.
