Yeah, but for that they need pressure both from the inside and the outside. Apparently D representatives receive a ton of phonecalls from their constituents, which is already a good start.

But what is also needed is more and younger people running within the party and for office to create more pressure for bolder messaging and more decisive actions.

The D party had the problem of being perceived as the status-quo party, and that perception IMO is not wrong if you look who is in positions of power within the party. So if the Dems want voters to drop Trump in the next election they need to undergo a massive transformation, especially age-wise (maybe with the sole exception of Bernie Sanders who aleays was popular with people from both sides).
