David Hogg, the former DNC vice chair, writes for Zeteo that the victories of Abdul El-Sayed and other progressives show Democrats didn't lose young voters – they just needed candidates to vote for.
Could not agree more! EVERYONE is sick of old white guys making other old white guys rich. There should be term limits on amassing greed and power. Here is a link of how I was talking about it day before yesterday. Don't worry, it is only six minutes long. The piles of crap we have all around us do no really need a lot of studying to realize they are crap. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1GiPJtGJ8V/
if only the DNC had listened to david, when they have the chance[to that degree they have only themselfs to blame], then they wouldnt be giving themselfs heartattacks now, at a emerging socialist scene....but the DNC has made a habit about not wanting to change...anything...and now it is too late, change is coming whether they wish it or not :(
As an 82 year old, I agree wholeheartedly with your article. I am tired of spending what is left of my life watching things we accomplished being destroyed with little or no pushback from establishment Democrats, other than strongly worded letters. There is so much more to be done.
You are right, David. I've been writing this from the beginning. Ken Martin lost the whole state of MN (my state) to the GOP. In business he would have been fired. But in the old boys network, he got promoted, got a raise, and kicked out everyone (like yourself) you might have threatened his position and exposed his incompetence. But now he is exposing it all himself. You can't hide stupidity forever.
I volunteered for a candidate who would have benefited from your endorsement. How do I submit names for consideration in future?
Otherwise, you guys are tearing it up! I'm watching your good works and cheering you on. Thank you, David, for all you're doing. The establishment derserves every death knell that rings them out. And thank you, Zeteo, for publishing this piece.
I noticed this firsthand while canvassing for Abdul. ---> "It turns out that a focused affordability message, moral clarity, and a commitment to not being bought motivates voters across the political spectrum."
I've had your back on a long ActBlue monthly David. They should have kept you to right rhe floungering ship and sent the clueless Martin packing. This old fart has out progressived every Progressive since 1956. bird doging precincts for Adlai Stevenson. I'm in it for life and back you 110%
I don't see that Hogg is biased against old people. I'll be 88 in a couple of weeks,and the fact is, there has to be a major change from the schumerati who are way past their sellby dates, and I include the younger stick in the muds like Hakeem Jeffries (who seems proud to take AIPAC money). Fresh blood and energy are required.
He specifically speaks against people by age, & that is NOT acceptable to me.
I support candidates on the basis of the policies they support.
Old or young, religious or not, skin color from the lightest to the darkest, language(s) spoken, etc. All those are less relevant than the policies they support. Bernie, Mamdani, El-Sayed, AOC, Melta (?sp), Flanagan. NOT HOGG!!!
Perhaps we need a Candidate Hogg.
He has much more impact where he is!
Great article. This is spot on.
Bravo young man! For you 100%! I’m old and you and your ilk give me hope for our country.
The "leaders" of the Democratic party are entrenched and complacent. They need to be replaced with people who have some "fire in the belly."

I am NOT sick of old white guys. I’m sick of conservatives.
Congrats for missing the point. It's not conservatives vs. old white guys, it's old whote guys vs. social democrats.
Absolutely not.
It’s conservatives vs. social democrats/progressives.
Age is NOT the issue.
Hillary Clinton is very much an old white guy too. So much for women`s liberation.

Well said, people are hungry for this kind of moral clarity!

Bravo David! Keep up the fantastic work!
I don’t seem to be able to like the hidden comment.
A question…what is this business about Trump Jr’s gun sales company quietly lobbying to kill the law against direct mail sales of guns?
I’d like Hogg if he weren’t so biased against us old people.
Focus on policies, David, & not on age.
