Unsurprising.
Maybe a couple dozen more of the cryptkeepers will die off before midterms and they're forced to take on some younger blood that isn't sucked from virgins. 
DNC: quick we need replacement candidates, start hitting the ground and get to every nursing home you can find!!!
The speaker has throat cancer, so there’s that.
Well, I will be donating to David Hogg’s org mentioned in the article from here on out, instead of the Democratic Party.
I would vet* each candidate, accordingly.
This is what turned up for who he's endorsing as a Congressional candidate, but we'll see: https://progressivevotersguide.com/virginia/2023/general/irene-shin?language_content_entity=en
God do we need to move away from first past the post so when we get into these situations, a new party can be formed without fear of splitting the vote and handing the election to the other end of the spectrum.
Hogg and others should form a shadow DNC (DSC?) as an organization with the goal of primarying weak Democrats. I've been done donating to the DNC for years, but I'd jump right on board with the DSC.
The DNC is, clearly, going to shit the bed on this, but let's not act like a gun control zealot is what the US "left" needs right now.
Literally nobody here cares about Hogg's gun activism. The DNC needed someone who would primary incumbents and inject new blood into the party, and Hoggs was that.
How is it not? Any zealot that has good intentions is what we need right now. Placating the right got us fascism.
And in the face a fascism we should be telling people on the left to disarm themselves?
He's better than the establishment in the DNC, but that like saying oral herpes is better than getting your lips ripped off by a pitbull. It's still not a great scenario either way you look at it.
Gun control isn't disarming everyone.
Death by a thousand cuts. That's the end goal. Your idea that gun control isn't disarming everyone, is like saying ICE is only deporting the real law breakers.
I dunno, I disagree but I don't have other facts to back up that opinion.
Thank you for the insight.
Its more important for them to keep the party conservative and under their control than it is for them to win elections.
Let's hope Hogg doesn't switch to Musk's new party.
Yeah I can see Musk giving him a superpac money enema and then pulling a Palpatine.
