    Default Tim Walz backs David Hogg for DNC vice chair

    https://thehill.com/homenews/campaig...nc-vice-chair/

    "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."

    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.”

    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.
    Laws aren't "preventable" measures. IOW, more gun laws won't stop mass shootings.

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

    The dems are digging their hole deeper and deeper. 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.
