Far be it for me to defend David Hogg, who’s a massive gun grabber, a hardcore Progressive (nice Fascist), and rather wacko. But, primarying elected officials would be part of Democracy! per Democrats, wouldn’t it? Being able to speak your mind while working for an entity even when the entity wants you to stay quiet is part of Democracy! per Democrats, wouldn’t it? But, David is talking about something that scares Democrat Elites, so, they’ll simply change the rules. Because Democracy!
DNC gives David Hogg an ultimatum
The Democratic National Committee is going to force David Hogg to decide: Get out of the primary game or lose his DNC post.
During a member call on Thursday, DNC Chair Ken Martin is expected to announce a proposal to change the party’s rules to mandate all DNC officers stay neutral in all Democratic primaries, according to a person directly familiar with the plan and granted anonymity to describe private discussions. The move comes after Hogg pledged last week to spend millions of dollars funding challenges to “asleep-at-the-wheel” Democrats in primaries, igniting a firestorm inside the DNC.
The proposal, if passed at the DNC’s August meeting, would effectively force Hogg to decide whether to step away from his DNC vice chair position or wall himself off from the group he co-founded, Leaders We Deserve, which has pledged to spend $20 million on challenging Democratic incumbents in safe blue seats.
And that is the heart of the rub. Look at that article link in the excerpt
Leaders We Deserve, which Hogg co-founded in 2023, announced plans on Tuesday to spend $20 million in safe-blue Democratic primaries against sitting House members by supporting younger opponents. In an interview with POLITICO, Hogg said the group will not back primary challenges in battleground districts because “I want us to win the majority,” nor will it target members solely based on their age.
“We have a culture of seniority politics that has created a litmus test of who deserves to be here,” Hogg said. “We need people, regardless of their age, that are here to fight.”
David wants to go after those old foggies sitting in their easy “I don’t even have to campaign at all or talk to the peasants” seats to get primaried. Think Democrats like Nancy Pelosi. Think the ones who are over 60 who have been in their House and Senate seats for decades. What will David choose? Does he actually have that much influence amongst the younger Dem voters, the under 35 crowd? Are the Democrat insiders actually worried he and his group could accomplish this, or, are they just lashing out? Regardless, for whatever reason, the Elites are not happy when the youts, and any of the peasants, challenge them.
What did they expect when they hired a child activist with no accomplishments and no following to be a “leader”?
When the Democrats gave the seat to this nitwit, what did they expect?
