there is a contingent of Hogg haters on here who repeatedly refer to him as "elite and entitled" and I just want to ask which school shooting they survived
the people he's trying to get rid of are the very ones who value their own power over Democrats winning elections (and vice versa, now)

The Dems saw that David Hogg was anti-gerontocracy and said his PAC might primary currently seated Dems (something a majority of Dem voters agree on rn) and they said "Fuck off forever" almost immediately, and got rid of him in a way almost custom designed to lose voters and empower the right lol.

And let's not forget that whole "gender balance rule" quip.
He screwed the pooch on Mayer.
Why is "conflict of interest" such a hard phrase for y'all to understand?!?!
2. The rest of DNC leadership already does that, by funding the incumbents and providing other non-monetary support (campaign research, data, etc). this is just an effort to balance it out
Hogg is an idiot. Instead of risking safe blue seats, he SHOULD be making an effort to unseat REPUBLICANS so Democrats can actually do all the things voters want them to.
The Dems have no idea what they are doing.
This thread from Kenyatta is spot-on 🔥.

The party leadership got their way. That's what happened. The rest is an optical illusion that has lost every ounce of enchantment.
Hogg is an EDGELORD!
🙄🙄🙄
What are we trying to do here? We’ve had like 3 Dem house members drop fucking dead in the last 6 months! Get these fossils out! Now!
As for who Kenyatta is? He is a PA state rep and was one of three primary challengers in PA for the Senate seat back in '22, one of the two 'normie centrists' backed.
Progressives backed Fetterman. How'd that work out for y'all?
What do you mean by putting in the work? Can you be specific?

Which is part of the problem with Hogg. If he wants to be in the business of funding primary challenges against Dem incumbents, that's fine, challenges can be good!

But you can't do that from *inside* the DNC. You can't be part of what'ssupposed to be a neutral Dem support apparatus...

I would support Kenyatta for a top leadership position.

Now, I think there's some truth to the criticism that *some* Democrats in office have either passed their sell-by dates and should step aside, or are too wishy-washy...

Except, when elections drew close, he'd noticeably begin...

This isn't retaliation against him.
Thanks for proving Kenyatta's god damn point.
The same goes for Hogg. I’m tired of democrats being perceived as out of touch PC losers.

He was a kid when the shooting happened. What he needed at the time was therapy and time with his family. The *last* thing he (or anyone in his shoes) needed was to be thrust into the spotlight and...

And that’s proving him right.
With respect, I’m pretty damn fed up with them at the moment.

But he shouldn't be running primary challenges against Dems while also being an officer in the DNC. That's not to say primary challenges are inherently bad.

But the DNC shouldn't be in the business of taking sides in primary fights. That's not its job.

Hogg needs to choose. He can't expect to be part of the apparatus while also...

Pick one and run with it.
