David Hogg is a tool of the oligarchs to disarm the working class. That doesn't make the DNC any better, but that argument fell really flat with me.
The way they dealt with him was a demonstration of their corruption, whatever you think of his policy positions.
A lot of people on the left don't support Democrat sponsored gun control initiatives. Do you trust our government? Even if you do, are you confident we'll be able to trust them with a monopoly on force for generations? The working class must not be disarmed.
Honestly they'd probably do a lot better if they would forever denounce gun restrictions but they won't. A lot of their other positions on working class rights and benefits are very popular even among the R voters in my family, obviously anecdotal.
