David Hogg, a controversial Democratic National Committee vice chair, is pledging to upend Democratic primaries by funding candidates who will challenge “ineffective, asleep-at-the-wheel” Democrats.

Taking a page from Elon's playbook, he's using other ppl's money to advance his agenda w/out oversight when Dems need resources to fight Repubs.
Is Rep. Maxine Waters too "old" for Mr. Hogg?
His arrogance is deplorable.
those words def weren’t yours (unless Elena Schneider is your drag name - ha!)
Politically
Generally, a primary challenge emerges from the MoC or Senator's constituency. In the past 40 years, the party has martialled resources against challengers, resulting in relatively unpopular candidates being pretty safe.
A 1930s Joe Manchin is almost inconceivable. Candidates were developed within the party, and primaries weren't usually the method for that development.
The dems have been listless in the primary era, & a stronger party would be good
And who decides who isn’t pure enough to be financed? David Hogg?? 🥴
Or wealthy, looking out for my interests, enabler democrats?
These cosplay “progressives” should be careful what they ask for.

It’s not a matter of bills passed (which is very difficult.)
Compare AOC to progressive reps like Lauren Underwood, Sharice Davids or others at:

All of the above have passed MULTIPLE bills.
Who benefits more from the Bill's passed?

Shake it up.
Ditch the bloated and status quo pushing consultants too. The poll tested "pivot to" crowd who who idiotically neutered & banned T.Walz's highly effective and very sticky "weird" label. Refresh.
Passion. Righteous indignation. Fight!
But that’s just me.
A person who would rather not be killed because the Dems you approve don’t give a fuck about my life.
What’s “controversial” is people like @schumer.senate.gov letting these Nazis get away with destroying democracy.
I hope you get to experience that first hand when you get older
And you have no idea how old I am
They are the most consistent democratic voters
