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.

      The original tea party were ron Paul supporters, who the GOP did a Bernie on. Then the crazies took over and now they’re magats. The reason the GOP wins people over is because the majority of Americans are not smart enough for politics, they go with sound bites and feel goods.
