From my experience, millennials are quite pleased with politicians like AOC, who are in the same age cohort. This isn't just a matter of political views and populism, but also a matter of social connection - see for example the AOC twitch stream playing Among Us with half a million viewers.

The article mentions income inequality as a cause of dissatisfaction with the status quo, but it's also political power inequality: we are a nation owned by and run by baby boomers, essentially.

This will eventually change, but it sure feels shitty sometimes.
