LO AND BEHOLD M'LORD.
I was just talking about how the dems are ineffective and have no strategy, and here's another one to add to my list of sources.

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.

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!

Thank you, David Hogg. So glad you survived the school shooting. 👍
Take traitor Jeffries’s request to Justice Democrats seriously. Unseat that piece of shit while he’s minority leader.
He is trying to get rid of the dead wood.
If you were confident that you've done right by the people you represent then surely you wouldn't be threatened by challenges to your incumbency.
Anger because they're useless and they're being called out.
Let me guess - the older lawmakers who voted for some of Trump’s cabinet nominations?
Exactly. And those older law makers get in the way anytime people want to even attempt to make things better.
Where do I donate to David Hogg?
has sparked intense anger from some lawmakers.
Who gives a shit. What do potential voters think?
I love his energy, but I sincerely disagree with the whole gun control narrative right now. Leaning into that when there are about to be a shitload of far right militias deputized is an absolutely fucking idiotic plan.
I get it, but this is where he comes from, I thought the same thing you did until I read this.
So like… I was in my early thirties when this happened. I know. I remember. I watched some of the news livestreams as it went down.
I said what I said understanding that.
I am by no means trying to diminish, demean, discredit, disparage, or otherwise detract from his experience. Im saying that I am very fucking concerned that an actual war is coming, and disarming right before a war is a great fucking way to get killed.

God the more I learn about this kid the more I am impressed and behind his every move!
Can you tell me more about him? This is the first time I've heard of him and I can't find much online.
He was a student during the stoneman Douglas School shooting, then picked up skeet/trap shooting, and it's currently one of the vice chairs of the Democratic national committee.

While this article by Axios and other recent ones seem to cast David Hogg in a bad, unproductive light, I am grateful that they brought attention to the matter.
Because I forgot to donate to his campaign, and I'm not going to be left out of that wave of support.
I do believe this is his organization's page, Leaders We Deserve:
I'm very proud of our young progressives. Go, David!

Time to clear out the affluent old fossils who act as controlled opposition.
The DNC fucked every god damn thing up.
Here it is. The democrats they say are fine. Squibbling over 20 million. Please, are you the second most powerful political force in America or are you just a bunch of sphistocrats.

Okay I usually take a hardline anti-DNC position, but I have to say this is good stuff. Go get 'em Hogg! However I do wanna point out that if Americans don't protect their right to free and fair elections none of this will amount to anything, so y'all still need to get stuff done on that front.
