"David Hogg represents exactly the kind of bold, dynamic, and courageous leadership the Democratic Party needs right now," Walz said in a statement.

"This is exactly what we need right now: experienced, thoughtful, and energized leadership that meets people where they are and takes bold action to win. I couldn't be happier to throw my support behind him and his vision for the party, and I look forward to working with him every step of the way."


​I guess he needs something to do since the pillow thing didn't work out.

Walz: "I'd like to consider nominating you for high office, but first you need to prove your loyalty... don't worry, no-one will ever know."

*unzips*

So basically he made Hogg unelectable.

Now he has been endorsed by Rep. Eric Swalwell of California and teacher union head Randi Weingarten.

David Hogg Knows Why Democrats Lost Young Voters

“We had to grow up worrying about dying in a school shooting today, or dying of climate change tomorrow, and then being crushed by student debt and the housing crisis in between… and I think on the issue of Gaza in particular, it was emblematic of the fact that people felt like we were not listening to them — that we didn’t care.”

“That’s why I’m running for this position,” Hogg says. “I’ve been impacted by that failed political system far too much, and I want to fucking fix it.”

So basically he made Hogg unelectable.

Nope. He won.

“We need to build a Democratic Party that is authentic, relatable, earns people’s trust, and wins again — and that stops apologizing for being who we are,” Hogg wrote on X after the Saturday election.

I got to hand it to the Dems., they are good at picking losers for high positions.

[eddiememphis]

Of the 8 positions elected, 4 were filled by white men.

At least Hogg helps fill the other four.

The dems are digging their hole deeper and deeper. They learned nothing from the election losses.

They learned nothing from the election losses.

Sure they did.

“We’ve got the right message,” said Ken Martin, the leader of Minnesota’s Democratic Party, who is widely seen as the race’s top contender. “What we need to do is connect it back with the voters.”

Democrats may be convinced they had it all along, despite the party’s defeat last year. One politician who appeared to have plenty of juice inside the DNC on Saturday was Kamala Harris.

“Black women have always been the backbone of our party. We show up our communities, our party and our party in every election,” said Marilyn Davis, “Yet time and time again, we are overlooked when it comes to the top leadership positions in our party.”

The U.S. hasn’t elected a female president yet because the U.S. remains a deeply sexist place...

“Who’s ready to take the fight to the Republicans and win this thing? Are you guys ready to fight?” Hogg asked the crowd following his election. “It’s been a long day, but guess what? We have a long road ahead. Let’s go and kick some a**. Let’s go win our young people back, and let’s stop sending just our thoughts and prayers to address gun violence, and do something. Are you ready to do that? Because together, we can make school shooter drills history, and not headlines. Are you ready to do that?”


They learned that they are right in their ideas, but too many rubes haven't had enough exposure to them. They learned that the they need to redouble their efforts to educate the unenlightened that their way is the only true vision for America.

Why do ignorant, uneducated people tend to gravitate towards the Republican Party? Because they have not seen the light... yet.

The funny thing is that my professional circle consists of a tribe of BS/MS/PhD STEM folks, and it's about 80-20 conservative/libertarian versus liberal/progressive.

I guess we didn't get the memo and don't fit the pattern...

Obviously didn't go to the right schools. Time for some re-education.

So, Hogg on hog?

[Clint45]

Looks like DNC actually elected him co chair!

Wow. They will never win an election again. Very amused by this.

[colorider]

If any of you get the chance, you have got to watch the footage of the dnc chair election. Don't drink anything while doing it as you will spit up all over the place laughing your ass off!!! It is literally a clown show. Has singing, dancing, amazing DEI bullshit and several other spectacles. It's literally like an SNL skit that can't be real.

[FromMyColdDeadHand]

Well, I guess the DNC hasn’t learned anything from the election..

[Clint45]

"None of this is real." American politics is like watching professional wrestling.

The problem is because of the make-up of the Dem party, you’ll be called an #####ist if you call out the stupid.

Yep, educated isn’t always intelligent. Lots of degreed people with crappy/social degrees are lefty. Get into STEM, and things change A LOT. Just look at the professorships in the STEM versus the twigs. Also, conservatives have had the virtue signalling beaten out of them, so when you do get into a Karen-ocracy, we keep our mouths shut. My wife and I have 21 years of higher education between the two of us. Two STEM degrees, an MBA, MD + specialization. She makes me feel like a atheist commie Eurowennie sometimes- and she keeps her pie hole shut at work, but she knows who the other conservatives are, because the Karen-ocracy always lets you know.

If TEOTWAWKI comes, just go to a chemical plant and check with the engineers…

Hogg out.

[eddiememphis]

Hogg out.

Don't mind if I do...

Oh, wait. Never mind, wrong forum.

It's good to see that little puke get what he deserves, which is nothing.

However, he has a good point that the DNC is full of fogeys that should be replaced. He's just kinda stupid to say it out loud, to the fogeys that need replacing.

They have more power than you, dummy. And politics is about the politician first, policy second. They will do anything they can to retain power, and that includes kicking aside anyone in their way.

Including some doofus that claims he "survived" a school shooting.

Being in a separate building on a different part of the campus is a pretty safe way to survive.

I guess he can now retreat to the safety of his pillow empire...
