David Hogg, Parkland Survivor and D.N.C. Vice Chair, Hopes to Unseat Democratic Incumbents
I will reserve judgement until I see precisely who he intends to replace them with.
His adoption by a lot of centrist Dems, and his absorption and placement as DNC Vice Chair makes me wonder if he's just the Centrist Dems' vehicle to remain the top influence in the party by replacing old Centrists with young Centrists.
Edit: To clarify for anyone else who is confused, I really hope he does what he says he will! We need lots more young progressives.
Makes perfect sense. After all:
Bottom line, we can't support anything on the left. It's better to just let the right wing (or the conservative/corporate wing of the Democrats or et cetera) win whatever contests, until we all go to El Salvador.
Got it. I completely agree with you. This is totally sensible.

Centrist Dems are half the reason we have Trump. Don't try to frame this as some anti-Left thing, this is about milquetoast, feckless neolibs who have and still do spend enormous effort preventing the party from actually aligning with its voting base.
If he's not that, I support him fully! But until I see that, I'm not going to celebrate just because he's young.
But go off with your ad hominems! They sure worked this past election to cajole support. /s
I heard an interview with this guy on NPR. He seems to understand what it means to be a progressive in America and how you can actually advocate for your agenda in a meaningful way.
