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 youth are not stupid, luckily, enough of them are paying attention to know that they are being lied to, even with a populist agenda. They have witnessed it with their own eyes that a populist agenda does not necessarily result in a populist candidate. That a populist agenda is primarily a carrot and stick method of luring people to the polls.
