Summary

Parkland shooting survivor and activist David Hogg is running for a vice-chair position on the Democratic National Committee, advocating for bolder leadership to reconnect with young voters and working Americans.

Citing frustration with Democratic losses, Hogg argues the party must move away from establishment politics and address pressing issues like healthcare and economic struggles.

He highlights declining youth support as a crisis and criticizes party leaders for ignoring voter concerns.

Hogg aims to bring fresh perspectives to the DNC as the party prepares to counter a resurgent Donald Trump and GOP-controlled Congress.

    We can’t win when we keep letting 70 years olds run the party.

    They’re out of touch with regular voters, and are openly antagonizing them with the whole fucking “if you’re not voting for me then fuck you” attitude.

    They don’t do any voter outreach, they won’t do any work. They want to go to fancy fundraisers with celebs and be told they’re great and the only chance of salvation America has, simply because they’re not named trump.

    It’s not fucking working, when it does it’s in spite of party leadership, they’re not helping anything.

    But with “blue no matter who” we’re stuck with them till they die in office like Feinstein. They’ll never do the right thing on their own.
