David Hogg is a 25-year-old political activist and, for now, vice chair of the Democratic National Committee. A survivor of the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, Hogg first drew national attention for speaking out vigorously in favor of gun control. He has since become an all-purpose progressive campaigner.
He is controversial, even among Democratic circles, because he has clashed with the party's establishment. He previously pledged to spend $20 million to primary members of his own party, though he insisted that he would only target Democrats who reside in safe districts. His thinking is that elected Democrats are too old and that the current iteration of the party fails to appeal to younger voters, particularly young males. Hogg is definitely onto something there: Donald Trump made huge inroads with Gen Z voters, in part because Democratic messaging to young men failed to resonate with them.
Hogg made a version of this argument on Bill Maher's show last weekend, and the comedian was impressed enough to give Hogg a standing ovation and shake his hand. Hogg also won over centrist Democratic strategist James Carville, who had previously called him a "twerp."

He’s a victim of low to no testosterone
> The GOP is not stupid. They’re just corrupt. <
True. However, the GOP has been called the “stupid party” for some time now, both by Republicans and Democrats. It’s not something I made up.
But it is something I agree with. Democrats seize opportunities. Republicans fumble them away. Trump is a refreshing exception to that.
Similar to what Theodore said
-——Theodore Dalrymple———
“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that
the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not
to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to
reality the better.
When people are forced to remain silent when they
are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced
to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense
of probity. To assent to obvious lies is...in some small way to become
evil oneself.
One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even
destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think
if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is
intended to.”

They're doing that intentionally. They're members of the uniparty. They get paid off big time once they leave Congress. So they're not really "fumbling" if it's done on purpose.
Please stop.
> They [the Republican establishment] get paid off big time once they leave Congress. <
That’s an important point. The Founders really messed up by not putting in term limits for Congress. A Congressman who served for 6 years wouldn’t have much pull. But one who served for 30 would be very valuable to lobbyists, etc.
Too late to fix things now, I suppose.
Obama was a master at that leftist tactic. And it still works so very well for them. Too well.

That great meme of the little faggot wearing a “semen is a food group” tee shirt seems to have been erased from the internets.
There is no message the Democrats are offering that will appeal to young men, in terms of young men they are the party of wussies and felattio performers.
yup, stolen valor, he wasn’t at the school that day
Well, THAT finishes my “admiration” for Bill Mahar./s
Hey, I'm over on the Gulf of America side. I'm a victim, too!
Found it.
Victim that was rejected by UCLA, where he wanted to go, but then accepted into Harvard after pulling out his camera as he headed to a tragic scene.
No one would have ever heard of this clown if the left media didn’t use him for their agenda.
He needs to take a sabbatical and spend some time at a gym.

He’s spend too much time looking at all the guys.
He’s no “victim”.
He’s a grifter.
His father is in the intelligence community iirc
I assume he is managed.

I remember Rush used to call him, “Camera” Hogg. ;>)
