My name is Sunjay Muralitharan. I'm 19, making me California's youngest superdelegate heading to the DNC convention.
It's 6am and I'm about to board my flight to Chicago! Can you RT and follow to stay updated on my journey!
My name is Sunjay Muralitharan and I'm the National Vice President of
@CollegeDems
.
I'm committed to mobilizing our chapters nationwide to elect progressive democrats and defeat MAGA Republicans & far-right mega donors.
Can you RT and follow to support us in our fight.
Congratulations to
@AIPAC
on their win in NY-16, proving once again that they are willing to buy our democracy if it means propping their far right regime abroad.
I'm 19, I may live to see 2100.
Democrats can't win big in 2024, and onwards without the largely progressive youth vote. We are integral coalition within this big tent party.
It's time to respect us as stakeholders of today, not inheritors of tomorrow.
I'm a national youth leader within the Democratic Party. My best advice to
@KamalaHarris
to turn out the youth vote: pick Walz as your VP.
From his unrivaled track record on abortion rights, gun control, universal school meals, ability to speak to the pro-Palestinian movement,
This. Let's not forget that progressive ideas, not centrist ones, are immensely popular.
- 67% of Americans support a ceasefire
- 62% of Americans support a $15 min wage
- 69% of Americans support Medicare for All
- 73% of Americans support reducing special interest influence
Will the media run with “centrist Democrats are causing division within the Democratic Party in an election year” or is that smoke only reserved for progressives?
Kamala Harris and Tim Walz aren't just younger than Trump, they represent youth in policy.
As the National Vice President of
@CollegeDems
I couldn't be more proud to support them.
@JoshShapiroPA
should not be our VP nominee.
We need a Vice Presidential candidate who will broaden and strengthen the Democratic coalition.
That means being able to speak to the concerns of pro-Palestine student protestors.
Tim Walz just pulled up to the DNC Youth Council. His speech was one of the most powerful I've ever listened to.
He credited his rise in politics to his own students. That's someone who respects youth as stakeholders of today, not inheritors of tomorrow.
Bowman's race isn't an ordinary Congressional primary, it's a clash between the best interests of everyday Americans and out of touch elites.
And
@CollegeDems
stands with the everyday Americans every single time.
It’s notable that
@CollegeDems
is standing strong, fighting for voices in the Party that young people can see themselves in.
Congress is a better place with
@JamaalBowmanNY
in the halls.
We need more working class representatives, not fewer.
@KamalaHarris
has a chance to do something historic:
Become both the first female president and the the first commander in chief to end, not enable, genocide.
Day 1 of Convention! Just finished my interview with
@cspanwj
! Never done a live interview before, so this was a change of pace, nothing like a podcast or newspaper interview.
Also they let me keep the cup :)
Let's set the record straight.
My job as
@CollegeDems
VP is to make party leadership aware of where youth stand, even when it leads to uncomfortable conversations.
If you've got a problem with that, then you've got a problem with youth voters.
Thousands of my fellow College students have been beaten, pepper sprayed and arrested in protest of Netanyahu's barbaric actions. Arresting him would make it all worth it.
VEEP stakes are always fun but let's not forget about
@CoriBush
and her primary this Tuesday!
@AIPAC
has already proved their willingness to buy our democracy once, we can't let them do it again.
Thousands of my peers have valiantly endured arrest and beatings in protest of the genocide in Gaza, yet Nehanyahu is embraced by Congress for conducting such genocide.
This needs to change, arrest Nehanyahu and support student protestors.
I'm California's youngest superdelegate. I represent the youth vote our coalition needs to secure the WH and preserve democracy.
Failing to highlight Palestinian voices in the DNC would be a diservice to our party. It's both the morally correct & politically smart thing to do.
My speech urged us to unite behind Harris, criticized Trump, and spoke about the promise of this moment. The only reason we’re doing this is to save the soul of our party and prevent bad actors from using our pain in an ongoing voter suppression campaign.
I'll support
@KamalaHarris
regardless of her VP pick but Walz is by far the best option.
We need a VP whose capable of expanding our coalition. That means speaking to disenfranchised pro-palestinian and undeserved blue collar workers.
That's something Shapiro and Kelly can't
It has always been elites vs everyday people. Those of us among the working and middle class, regardless of partisan affiliation, have so much more in common with one another than the top 1%.
As a National leader of
@CollegeDems
I've witnessed an unprecedented amount of my peers grow disillusioned with our political system.
Its not that we are uninterested in the civic system, but rather its self serving nature that favors corporate & lobbyist interests over our own.
‘A dying empire led by bad people’: Poll finds young voters despairing over US politics.
Establishment politicians must acknowledge the reality of how younger people feel about our political system.
I'm 19, making me the youngest superdelegate in the CA Democratic Party's delegation.
The choice our country makes this November transcends the issue of age, both candidates are old enough to be my grandparents but only one wants democracy to remains well into my 20s.
If Donald Trump and JD Vance can be unapologetic about their facist agenda, why can't Tim Walz be unapologetic about uplifting the best interests of everyday Americans?
Proud to announce I'll be the youngest superdelegate of
@CA_Dem
attending the DNC convention next week!
I'm excited to represent youth across the great state of California in nominating the Harris/Walz ticket!
The day before convention consisted of hanging out with fellow young delegates and
@CollegeDems
, connecting with some of my favorite elected officials and attending the delegate welcome reception!
On to day 1 tomorrow where I'll be live on
@cspan
at 8am est!
With democratic politics being so hyper fixated on the top of the ticket, it's easy to forget
@CoriBush
is up against AIPAC on Aug 6th.
Let's protect our power, and ensure one of America's most fierce advocates for everyday people isn't defeated by far right mega-donors.
I’m proud to have delivered more than $2 billion for our district & I'm running for re-election to continue our fight for transformational change.
But far-right megadonors are preparing to spend millions attacking & dividing us.
Join me today to show St. Louis is
#NotForSale
These protests are a “political problem” for President Biden and Democrats because they’re also a policy problem.
Fix your policies and politics
@TheDemocrats
.
I'm sick and tired of this
@GOP
peddled narrative that pro-Palestine protestors are radical Hamas supporters.
I've been to these events and spoken with their leaders. The only thing they want is a peaceful and just international community.
New: Wesley Bell, Rep. Cori Bush's formidable primary challenger, is running as a progressive. But his first role in politics was managing a GOP congressional campaign for a friend.
Had a great time witnessing history at the DNC! But the job isn't finished.
Can you RT and follow to join my friends and I at
@CollegeDems
in turning out the youth vote in record numbers!
I'm as hyped about the
@GovTimWalz
announcement as you are, but let's that channel that excitement into turning out voters for
@CoriBush
today!
Let's follow up the announcement of the people's VP by uplifting the people's Congresswomen of Missiouri.
@AIPAC
and other far-right
At a time when many in Democratic leadership are failing to stand on the right side of history, it’s notable how
@CollegeDems
is meeting this moment with clarity.
As the National VP of
@CollegeDems
I'm proud to be supporting
@JamaalBowmanNY
in his re-election bid.
In an era where corporate and foreign interests hold undo influence in our governing system Bowman's people powered campaign offers a breath of much needed fresh air.
There's nothing more democratic than criticizing your democratically elected leaders. Proud to be a part of the
@CollegeDems
exec board calling for change.
College Democrats’ votes are not to be taken for granted by the Democratic Party. We reserve the right to criticize our party when it fails to listen to us.
Excited to be the first guest on
@cspan
to kick off their DNC convention coverage.
I'll be discussing the importance of the youth vote, as well as key defining issues for
@CollegeDems
and the broad youth electorate.
Tune in on 8/19 at 8am ET.
It's times like this that'll be ingrained in our history books for generations to come. And our elected leaders complicit in global injustice are sure to line the ranks of the wrong side of history.
If you cannot find it within yourself to condemn the bombing of a refugee camp, what is there left to say?
The elected officials who can sleep well at night knowing they’re supporting the slaughter of refugees lack the moral clarity to lead on anything.
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" - MLK Jr.
In pursuit of a more just world, we must be willing to lock arms with those who differ from us, uplifting our shared humanity. Their struggles are our struggles.
Black liberation and Palestinian liberation are interconnected.
We must come together to fight for justice, from Palestine to Cleveland to Detroit and everywhere in between.
@RepRashida
and I talk about why solidarity is so important in this moment ⬇️
With students heading back to college,
@CollegeDems
chapters are back in business!
Our network of over 250 chapters, spanning 25 states, are fired up to turn out the youth vote in record numbers!
Hi everyone! I'm Sunjay a 19 yearold first time voter and National Vice President of
@CollegeDems
.
I'm committed to uplifting the best interests of youth, even if it means having uncomfortable conversations with our elected leadership. Who's with me?
Not to mention that progressive economic & pro-peace policies are popular among youth.
Leaders like
@JamaalBowmanNY
represent the priorities of our country's next generation, whether he is in or out of a Congressional seat.
Progressive economic policies and pro-peace foreign policy are popular amongst working-class Black and brown voters.
Less popular with more affluent suburban voters.
Perhaps Democratic strategists shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss what Rep. Bowman stands for…
Let one thing be clear,
@CollegeDems
are the margin of victory and we will only stand with a candidate who inspires us. When given a lesser of two evils, Gen Z picks neither.

@BostonGlobe
I'm the youngest superdelegate within CA & National VP of
@CollegeDems
and I'm proud to support Kamala Harris for President.
Make no mistake, young voters will turn out in waves to elect the first female president in the history of the United States.
Shaming progressive organizations for their valid criticisms of our party isn't the uniting message that'll allow us Democrats to win big.
We've got to convince these progressive organizers that they have a seat at the table in our party's big tent, because they do.
All I’m going to say is I knew “progressive organizations” and individuals who in MAY of 2023 said they would not endorse or support Joe Biden this year.
For some people it’s never been about his age. It’s always about their endless need to critique power.
I'm not against 3rd parties but can we stop acting like Jill Stein is a serious champion for the left.
Instead of building power in local seats, she's been gunning for the presidency longer than I've lived.
She's in it for her own glory, not the betterment of her country.
@CollegeDems
possess one of the largest grassroots networks of any youth organization.
But as college students, we lack the funds to self-finance our organizing efforts.
Can you RT and chip in a small donation to help us turnout the youth vote?
This is such a proud older brother moment for me.
@SohaliV

on CSPAN.

I'm excited to mobilize thousands of young people to vote for
@KamalaHarris
and protect our democracy.
Can you follow and re-tweet to stay updated with the work we are doing?
Translation: "Young people can only criticize their elected leaders if they do it my way."
@SohaliV
has put the best interests of
@CollegeDems
across the nation and she won't stop anytime soon.
If THIS club (
@collegedems
) wants to criticize Joe Biden's policies, I'm cool with that. At least I know where THESE kids are coming from.
But if their Comms Person is going to redirect traffic on any level to the Young Socialists...that's a problem:
Don't let anyone tell you that the GOP is the party of family values.
The fact that Gus Walz feels comfortable enough to cry out of pride on national TV proves that Tim Walz is a true family man.
Whereas Trump cheated on his wife with a porn star.
Once history is written, my kids are going to look back to this day and ask why Congress welcomed an anti-American architect of genocide to our nation's most prestigious lawmaking body.
The only institution Netanyahu should address is the ICC.
Only results
@LatimerforNY
delivers are for his AIPAC donors who are fixated on funding MAGA Republicans and defeating democrats across the country.
Integrity is the issue that matters most, and its something
@JamaalBowmanNY
embodies.
I'm proud to receive the endorsement of the
@NYDailyNews

on the issues that matter most.
Early Voting starts TOMORROW across Westchester and the Bronx -- do you have a plan to vote?
A lifelong progressive, former black panther and the only candidate in the race calling for a ceasefire!
Couldn't be more excited to go live with US Senate candidate
@BarbaraLeeForCA
on the
@CollegeDems
Instagram!
This Saturday @ 8am I’ll be going live on
@CNN
to discuss the importance of the student protests that have erupted across the nation and why
@CollegeDems
stands in solidarity‼️
The Young Democrats of America stand with the peaceful protesters on college campuses and the people of Gaza in calling for an immediate, permanent ceasefire.
Tolerance for hate and violence has no place in the Democratic Party.
Read our statement:
1/4
The right to assembly is a core tenant of American Democracy.
@CollegeDems
won't sit idly on the sidelines as we witness our fellow peers get it stripped away in their demands for peace.
Forever grateful for your belief in us
@CollegeDems
Congresswomen Jackson Lee.
Your life's work and profound legacy has inspired our generation and beyond. We'll continue the fight for our democracy in your honor 💙
Wrong
@AIPAC
. Here are the facts:
- 55% of America's disapprove of Israel's actions in Gaza, only 36% approve
- 73% of Americans feel that special interests have too much power, only 10% feel they have too little.
Stop acting as if the American people support this genocide.
No,
@AOC
, the overwhelming majority of Congress votes with their constituents who support the 🇺🇸🇮🇱relationship.
Americans want a strong alliance with our democratic ally. This partnership saves lives, strengthens our troops, grows our economy, and advances US interests & values.
Special thanks to
@TheRunUpNYT
for inviting me to speak in support of
@CollegeDems
backing of peaceful protests on college campuses! Always proud to be a part of a generation that places the human right to life over hegemonic geopolitical interests.
Today on
#TheRunUpNYT
: President Biden spoke critically about antiwar protests across college campuses, and he was later condemned by an unlikely group: College Democrats of America.
Representatives from
@CollegeDems
give the inside story.
Helped co-author both the
@CollegeDems
ceasefire and student protest statements, which explicitly condemn Hamas, antisemitism and call for a release of the hostages. Nor did DSA ever hack our website. Don't really know what you're yapping about.
@SunjayM_000
@DemCouncilCA
are ya’ll sure this young adult who refuses to denounce Hamas and antisemitism can be a democratic delegate for
@TheDemocrats
and
@JoeBiden
? As a leader of
@CollegeDems
he allowed for their “official website” to be hijacked by the DSA.
Asking for a friend!
I'm thrilled to announce my candidacy for the Democratic National Committee!
Currently, the youngest person ever elected to the DNC in CA was 30, and as the 19 year old VP of
@CollegeDems
I plan on making history for all Gen Z Democrats.
Who's with me?
Notice how the DNC had former & current party officials support their nominee, while the RNC only had current ones.
It's almost like the Republican Party has been hijacked by one man, whose turned what was once a party of conservatism and decency into a cult of personality.
When given the choice between what's expected and what's right, Gen Z always picks the latter. Proud to have voted in favor
@CollegeDems
endorsement of
@AndyKimNJ
.
Last week I was proud to be endorsed by College Democrats of NJ, but I found out the terrible backstory that shows how Jersey politics is broken. The college students were pressured and threatened to not endorse me. Good thing they recorded the call. Here’s what happened…THREAD
Make no mistake, come November, young people are going to stand united against the party of billionaire interests and backwards policies. Gen Z votes blue.
Don't let the shifting news cycle distract you. The US is still funneling weapons of war into Israel and they're still being used to kill innocent children.
Don't stop talking, organizing and pressuring your leaders. We need to end this genocide.
That moment when you harass a 19-year-old on X and still claim moral superiority. Also stop with the baseless lies, we never redirected traffic to the Young Socialists and never will. Just say you're uncomfortable with youth being unapologetic about standing against genocide.
Just to let you know
@CollegeDems
has blocked me.
After I caught them redirecting traffic to the Young Socialists.
After I publicized what their National Comms Director said about Jews (which was anti-semitic).
You think this is going to stop me??
They've got the money, we've got the many. And the many will always beat money.
While AIPAC's MAGA funders break spending records, we're breaking our volunteer records to get out the VOTE!
#WeDecide
our future. Not MAGA. Not money. Us.

She's a true public servant and

are proud to have her back.
No way
@VivekGRamaswamy
platformed a women who straight up wouldn't vote for him over his race. This isn't a class act, but rather an embarrassment to Indian-Americans across the country.
📝CLASS ACT:
@VivekGRamaswamy
maintains COMPLETE composure as
@AnnCoulter
says she’d never vote for him due to his ETHNICITY.
Throughout the interview, Coulter claimed repeatedly that American civic ideals only work among an Anglo-Saxon population.
Walz attending a state school rather than an Ivy is NOT a weakness.
I've worked with college students across the country, and I've met countless state school attendees who blow their Ivy counterparts out of the water.
Walz and Vance are no different.
Tim Walz has jokes and during the primaries, said this about Uncommitted voters:
“These folks are asking for a change in course. They’re asking for more pressure to be put on. It bodes well for me that they’re actively engaged to go out and cast this vote and ask for change.”
