David Hogg wants to change the Democratic Party. He’s off to a slow start.
Hogg’s political organization, like similarly structured groups, spends a fraction of the money it raises directly helping candidates.

Democrats working to elect Irene Shin to Congress last month were elated when Leaders We Deserve, the political organization founded by Gen Z activist David Hogg, endorsed the 37-year-old Virginia state delegate and privately pledged to spend $400,000 on her behalf. That elation was short-lived.

Days after the headline-making endorsement, the Hogg-founded group backed away from its financial commitment, according to a half-dozen Democrats close to Shin and Leaders We Deserve, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private plans. “Shocking” was how one of the Democrats close to Shin described the situation, with others saying it dealt a clear blow to their campaign. The group did not explain its reasoning, the people said.

1. "When they believed Shin couldn't win, they scrapped the plan."

From the story -

"When they believed Shin couldn’t win, they scrapped the plan."

That's no change at all. That's right out of the party playbook.

4. Commons sense

Not to waste limited funds on hopeless causes.

2. "He's off to a slow start"... Well, the road ain't exactly clear

[creeksneakers2]

5. We have a good road

The Trump big ugly bill did not get a single Democratic vote and we are going to hit Trump hard over it. A recent generic Congressional race poll showed Dems up 51% to 43%. We have a great shot at taking back the house and a long shot at the senate. That's why the GOP tries dirty tricks like David Hogg.

3. He's not out to help Democrats

He's out to help the GOP.

One of the reasons we lost in 2024 was a lower turnout among young people. Pollsters determined the drop was because young people believe Democrats weren't doing enough to fight Trump. That's the same message Hogg pounds relentlessly. His message will decrease turn out. And the GOP love him for it. The Daily Signal is a publication of the Heritage Foundation, the folks behind Project 2025. Just look at how they kiss Hogg's ass:

Look at how Hogg attacks Democrats:

When he does push candidates he picks ones that are bound to lose. Look at how his most recent candidate did:

He never says what exactly Democrats are supposed to be doing but aren't. It all vague symbols. All he has ever offered are lethally unpopular policy suggestions like defunding the police. Don't fall for the GOP plot.
