Over the weekend, Democrats voted to make gun control activist David Hogg the vice chair of the Democratic National Committee. It was a strange choice for multiple reasons.
Hogg is little more than an online activist with no experience in actually getting candidates elected to office. He has no track record one can point to in order to justify giving him this position.
Hogg is also an extremely ‘woke’ choice at a time when the Democrats should be trying to reconnect with voters who flatly rejected the woke agenda in the 2024 election.
Some Democrats know this was a bad choice.
This report from Politico has some revealing reactions to Hogg:
David Hogg became the latest foil for Republicans when the young activist with a flair for far-left rhetoric was elected vice chair of the Democratic National Committee.
The fallout is quickly becoming a headache for Democrats, too…
“The most worrying thing is if he carries into this new job a belief that saying what he was saying, but louder, is the way to prevail in red states,” said Matt Bennett, co-founder of the center-left group Third Way. “Because it isn’t … If he believes that it is, that’s going to be a real problem for our candidates in those places.”
Bennett added, “He came up as an activist, but now he is a party leader, and that’s a very, very different role.”
Another Democratic strategist, granted anonymity to speak candidly, complained that Hogg can now “go on TV as a vice chair for the DNC, speak on behalf of the Democratic Party, in a way that can do more harm than good.”
There are other examples, but you get the idea.
Hogg is an activist, not a strategist. His is an ideologue, not a pragmatist.
There is a very definite possibility that Hogg will turn off more voters than he recruits, and now that he is officially a leader of the party, that is how he will be framed in every media story about him, no matter how out of touch he sounds.
It’s amazing that the Democrats chose him for this role, but it’s a free country. They can go down this road if that’s what they want to do.
