Given his public profile, Hogg has more experience than one Gavin Kliger, Musk's little wretch at Doggy. USAID sent an email to D.C. staff telling them not to come into the office today as the agency is shutting down. The email was written by [email protected]. Yes - the little Musk shite....
Hogg seems qualified, and though he’s never impressed me with his genius or wit, he has impressed me with his fight, his authenticity and commitment. I think that’s the most important leadership quality right now. And since he’s not a lawmaker my concern about his unproven judgement is tempered.
Authenticity including having passionate policy beliefs that aren’t just “not the bad guys”. I care less about which of the many valid ongoing battles they want to pick, as long as they’re willing to die on some hill with me.
Congratulations to David!! I'm a 70 year old that knows we need smart, savvy, articulate young people to move the Dems ahead. Pretty sick of the tired, feckless old guard that avoids risk at all costs.
The entire DNC needs to be made up of a combination of experienced progressives and young, ready fighters. The rest need to step down and let those ready/willing to fight take their places.
I think this is fine, but I continue to be confused why I should be listening to kids whose only qualification is not getting killed in a school shooting.
David Hogg may not have political exp but since surviving the MSD High shooting, he's advocated for gun safety laws, safe schools & held public officials resp for favoring special interests over voters. He's weathered attacks by adults incl from Congress members since. At least he's walked the walk
@davidhogg.bsky.social has given me hope for this country’s future since he and fellow classmates formed March for Our Lives. I think he’s savvy enough to help the party - if they let him!
For him to lead it doesn’t require any permission. People will be inspired by a leader regardless of party affiliation. The gulf of leadership in the party is enormous.
The media and the money will be against you if you were truly a threat, but if you have your own resources you will be looked at with suspicion. A left can't operate in this electoral arrangement. Grab your torches or sit it out.
Kind of surprising for the DNC -plagued by seniority. Democrats could really use a Tea Party moment where the old guard gets thrown overboard for activists and popular base policy. Say what you will but Republicans have to chase their votes, and they've been winning ever since.
Agreed! Repubs figured out how to make their (dumb) message convincing & how to spread it. Dems haven't figured out either of those, and legacy media & 1+ BILLION dollars couldn't make up for those flaws.
Hogg's election is really good. I hope he's able to change things - otherwise, we're all boned.

I could understand his anger, but soon after becoming known he was like “no Republican will ever win again, this generation is in charge now”
We absolutely need different people in charge
Congratulations @davidhogg.bsky.social
I’m sure you will do #GoodThings
