David Hogg: More than a dozen Democratic incumbents could be primaried

[RandySF]

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chair David Hogg said his organization “Leaders We Deserve” will focus on challenging more than a dozen Democratic incumbents in the next election cycle.

He said the group will focus on mobilizing a younger generation of leaders geared towards change amid new policies implemented under the Trump administration. They’ve slated $20 million for the initiative.

“Currently, we’re looking at over 12 districts, but there’s a lot of nuance that comes with that number, because there’s going to be people who retire,” Hogg told NewsNation.

The organization will target Democrats in safe districts and will not aim to primary those in toss up races.

1. if he is gonna sabotage democrats he needs to resign from the DNC anad only talk for his PAC millions friends .

[mcar]

2. Hey, David, when are you going to challenge Republicans?

You tool

[iemanja]

22. Guess what?

Republicans don’t run in Democratic primaries. Democrats run against Republicans in General elections. Primaries and GEs are not the same thing and don’t happen at the same time.

3. "If they can't find a young person"

They won’t run a candidate

That’s his only qualification

It’s kinda funny in a Lord of The Flies way

[hedda_foil]

4. That is absolutely not true.

[GusBob]

5. Just quoting the article

Don’t like being called a liar

[Nixie]

11. That caught my eye, too. It doesn't get more superficial

and clueless than that. It’s stunning.

Lord of the flies is a perfect reference.

6. This works for me....

Primaries are set-up to find the right candidate.... some incumbents are empty suits....just saying....

[RandySF]

7. But it's no place for a DNC official to meddle.

[FarPoint]

10. We need brave, bold and gutsy change .

I'm ready for new leaders like David.

[Gore1FL]

8. Good. Democracy is good for Democracy. nt

[Ponietz]

9. Absolutely agree

Without term limits candidate selection needs to be more democratic. Otherwise, bad votes (we see them all the time) get no consequences. Nothing wrong with a primary especially in a safe district.

[GusBob]

12. Discrimination is good for nothing

We went thru this age stuff this past summer

He and his also ran gang of losers are all going to fail.

Some of the mistakes they make will be laughable, making us all the butt of the joke

[Gore1FL]

17. I'm a senior. I'm with Hogg. Weird. nt

[betsuni]

19. They'll fail because they'll run against a fictional Democratic Party they hate for a fictional Democratic base

they are convinced hates the Democratic Party, too. Hate, only-I-am-morally-pure-enough-to-save-you, is the message.

[betsuni]

13. That's it? A dozen wicked old centrist witches are the problem, More of a Threat to Progress than Republicans?

Watch out, David, the STATUS QUO CENTRIST ESTABLISHMENT will put a spell on you, might wake up tomorrow as a newt! They will stop at nothing! This fairy tale is all about you, the young righteous martyr hero!

[Nixie]

15. +1, All those meanie pants who want our party to be taken seriously and

win elections are no fun at all!

[Skittles]

21. IT'S A START

yes indeed

[Nixie]

16. Amen

[JI7]

18. Is he going to give us names ?

It just appears to be a grift.

[betsuni]

20. I'm on the edge of my seat with excitement waiting to find out who all these bad people with centrist cooties

voting with the GOP all the time are! And they're, like, OLD. Probably ugly too.

[Raine]

23. Absolutely nothing but a grift. 🤑 nt

24. If he does I will be donating to those he plans to primary

It looks like he will go ahead with this and will not resign. The vote on requiring neutrality is not until August. Imo it was a big mistake on the part of dnc to support and vote him in which I said back then- he apparently can't be fired even if he breaks the neutrality agreement if it is approved. I'm not sure about that. This was imo all planned out by him and his pac supporters.

My friend and I suddenly started receiving emails from him asking for money etc. right after this was announced. Neither of us signed up for it but we are both on d lists. Even though I deleted/unsubbed and requested to be removed, I received another one again. Each time I will move it to junk and delete, which seems to work better.
