If the DNC ousts David Hogg, then I am completely DONE with the Democratic Party

A Democratic National Committee panel has found that gun control activist David Hogg and a colleague were not properly elected to be among its five vice chairs earlier this year, paving the way for their removal.

Hogg, 25, rose to national prominence after surviving the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on February 14, 2018, and co-founding March for Our Lives.

He has since become a vocal political commentator, critical of President Donald Trump and the Democratic Party’s failure to earn the trust of the electorate.

Hogg made waves last month by announcing that his new organization, Leaders We Deserve, co-founded with Kevin Lata – the former campaign manager of Florida Representative Maxwell Alejandro Frost, the first Gen-Z member of Congress – intends to support primary challengers to “out-of-touch, ineffective” House Democrats occupying safe congressional seats that, it believes, have not done enough to oppose the Trump administration.

In what has already been interpreted as an attack on that strategy, the DNC’s Credentials Committee on Monday upheld a complaint brought by Oklahoma activist Kalyn Free, who lost out on one of the vice chair positions in February 1’s elections and subsequently accused the DNC of breaking its own rules on gender diversity, potentially invalidating the elections of Hogg and Malcolm Kenyatta.

A full DNC vote will now be held on the committee’s findings, which could mean new elections being staged, with the same five candidates, including Hogg and Kenyatta, on the ballot once again.

“While this vote was based on how the DNC conducted its officers’ elections, which I had nothing to do with, it is also impossible to ignore the broader context of my work to reform the party which loomed large over this vote,” Hogg responded in a statement.

“I ran to be DNC Vice Chair to help make the Democratic Party better, not to defend an indefensible status quo that has caused voters in almost every demographic group to move away from us.

“The DNC has pledged to remove me, and this vote has provided an avenue to fast-track that effort.”

Are you surprised? Who ever heard of the DNC doubling down on bad positions and serving themselves first?

verificatia of size hog-meat?

La Belle Fuhrer.

DNC survivor David Hogg will find another way to grab the spotlight.

With Democrats like Hogg and AOC, the DNC will never recover from the presidential defeat.

This is fucking DEI bullshit.

Native American activist didn't win the first time around, so she cries and whines that there's not enough diversity in the DNC leadership, and so demands a re-vote.

And she gets one.

What in the fucking hell kind of bullshit FUCKERY is this????

And all because David is a young, white male? He won fair and square.

Way to turn off young white male voters, the exact demographic that the DNC is LOSING, and trying desperately to attract.

How stupid can you be to strategize primary challenges when you sit on the national committee? Talk about working at cross -purposes.

Harvard’s admissions office blew chunks

Buh bye.

At the very least Creepy Carville should be gone as well. I hate that shit.

Will miss Hogg-just adorable!

This won’t stop David Hogg. He’s on a mission and has time on his side. Go Hogg.

I honestly had no idea that David Hogg was so popular among young Democrats.

He’s not. He’s popular like that cohort has lots of sex. Nope.

So David Hogg is 25. Looks good…

They only listen to their donors. Constituents are irrelevant. No one is coming to save us.

Any relation to Mitchell Hoog?

Hooooooog.

David Hogg is not the future of the Democratic Party, any moreso than a Black-Indian woman from California is the future.

Josh Barro:

It is so DNC to remove David Hogg not for the good reason (he sucks and is bad for the party) and instead for a bullshit reason (a claim that his election violated diversity rules, even though it didn’t actually violate them).

Young Hogg must go. He’s not working collaboratively and is instead on a mission to primary Democrats he views as too old or out of touch. He’s as fascist as MAGA.

Ugh, is he trying to sabotage the Democrats? Ugh, Now I'm fuckin mad as hell! So he got shot at at a high school?! Their were high school shootings all the time in my high school. Kelly High school circa 1991.. poor rich pig nosed white boy needs a cause now

The future of the Democrats is not rich, white Hogg(ed) nosed losers. The future is Latino and Black. Roughly 30% of the voting population was one of them two blocks in 2024. It'll be 52% according to projections by 2052.

My 25 yo colleague thinks Hogg is spot on. Any democrat I know aged 35 and up see him as hurting the Dems and fracturing the party even more at a time we need to be 100% together. Am I missing something?

....

Calling it now - Timothee Chalamet will play him in the inevitable Ryan Murphy movie about him on FX. He will then get an Emmy nod.

Go Hogg Go!

HA HA

He is NOT bad for the party.

Telling the truth is NOT bad for the party.

And David is the only one telling the truth. But Democrats won't listen.

This is exactly why we keep losing.

Because we keep listening to the old people who have a proven losing record, rather than young people, who should be the future of the party.

Do you really think Democrats can win with David Hogg in charge? You must not live in America.

He’s not, nor ever been, “in charge.” It has never been proposed. He is currently ONE of the Vice Chairs. But you already knew that.

He’s radical left, I followed him once. I showed heeem!

His qualifications are... his high school got shot up and he survived?

he is bad for the party, an interloper who was Republican until he survived a school shooting. Go save the Republican party and see how welcome you will be.

This whiny little bitch hasn’t even done anything but go on talk shows. Where are his so called progressive candidates? Where’s the work to back up anything he claims to want to do?

If you care about media whores like Hogg and not substance feel free to take your ball and leave the Dem Party. You won’t be missed.

he is 25 and says young people should be worried about getting laid rather than serious business like "saving" the Democratic party from failure.

don't worry about the Democrats, go save the Republicans.

Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney and Mike "hanged man", Pence could not save the Republicans.

[quote]he is 25 and says young people should be worried about getting laid

When did he say this?

[quote]If he's gone, then I'm gone.

And where, exactly, do you plan to go? MAGA World?

Kalyn Free.

By all means, let her run the party.

Because, you know, 2024 was so successful for Democrats.

She'll run it, alright. Into the ground.

Hogg and Kenyatta won on February 1 by DOUBLE the votes that anyone else got, in the 3rd and final round of voting.

Kenyatta got 298 votes for Vice-Chair.

Hogg got 214.

Kalyn Free got 96.

Tell us again, how was this not fair?

R40 because it didn’t follow procedural rules regarding how rounds of voting are to be conducted. They will have a re-election and Kenyatta will win again. Hogg would have won again too if he didn’t spend his last month promising to spend millions AGAINST Democrats and pissing off people he needed to be friends and allies. He’s still got a chance at winning but I’ll bet he’ll quit instead because he wants media attention, not a DNC chair.

I hate how this guy has made himself such a story. Self-centered little brat. Attention Hogg was the right nickname for him.

R37 on Bill Maher, in an appearance widely publicized.

I thought this was a picture of Brooklyn Beckham.

[quote] last month promising to spend millions AGAINST Democrats

Which he did not do. He spent last month promising to spend millions AGAINST ineffective, do-nothing Democrats
