Generational Purge Masquerading as Renewal

Missing: No evidence challengers lead in funds or polls.; No policy diffs beyond dismantle-ICE fever dream.. Hypocrisy: It demands trust while withholding basics like No evidence challengers lead in funds or polls. and No policy diffs beyond dismantle-ICE fever dream. (not provided in the snippet). Verdict: Junk journalism peddles unrest without receipts. Note: Like swapping a vintage engine for one tuned to explode on the freeway.
