Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I am not sure why this guy gets any crap from the Dems. He may be a bit bro-ey for me IMHO but he wants to get new blood into the DNC and for that alone I support him.
He is primarily a single issue politician focusing on gun control and the party cannot court Republicans with a tangible gun control policy.
I can't agree on the first part. He does have opinions that he expresses quite plainly on many topics besides gun control.
The second part is so true it's not even funny.
To me, he gives off a whiff of being entitled. He was a Parkland survivor and I think at least part of him thinks that shields him from criticism and means everybody should just fall in line behind him, and he doesn't seem to fully grasp that that isn't the case.
At least that's the impression I get.
WTF!? David Hogg is a fighter, he fought the injustice of school shootings fiercely and brilliantly. And for the first time ever NRA was seriously shaken very much due to the Parkland survivors.
It's very obvious why he is frustrated by Wall Street democrats, if you haven't noticed USA could literally lose their democracy by the bad decisions and inaction of democrats, allowing MAGA to bulldozer over everything without resistance.
