David Hogg will not seek reelection to his Democratic National Committee leadership position after the party announced Wednesday that members had voted to redo the vice chair contests he and Malcolm Kenyatta won in February.
“Ultimately, I have decided to not run in this upcoming election so the party can focus on what really matters,” Hogg said in a statement.
Hogg’s decision not to run again ends a monthslong intraparty fight between the young gun control advocate and much of the national committee that has distracted from the party’s efforts to rebuild after devastating 2024 election losses.
The outgoing vice chair has accused party leaders of attempting to oust him from his position over frustration with his plan to primary “ineffective” Democratic incumbents in safe seats through his PAC Leaders We Deserve.
I agree in part, but I also think that the adoption of thirdway politics by the boomers led to the material conditions that is the real reason why so many young people are so susceptible to radicalization.
If younger people were granted the educations and careers that were offered to older generations, they're wouldn't really be a reason for them to need to find a scapegoat for all their problems.
Those are good points. Boomers have 100% created the conditions for widespread radicalization, and continue to do so by supporting upward wealth transfer policies.
