David Hogg, DNC Vice President, vows to challenge older incumbent Democrats in primaries, arguing age limits their leadership. The Democratic Party, viewed as led by elderly figures, faces a graver issue, record low poll ratings from an unclear, unappealing message. While age sparks debate, the party fails to offer a unified vision voters embrace. Hogg pushes for younger leaders to revive enthusiasm, yet primaries alone cannot resolve the crisis without a strong platform. Democrats must forge a clear, compelling message to restore trust, counter declining support, and navigate a divided political landscape effectively.

In the 2024 presidential election there WAS one utterly clear*** message from the Dems/Harris: there would be NO change to the joyous sponsorship of the Palestinian extermination project plus all effort necessary would be expended to joyously render the US military the most lethal the world. This message was embraced by 75 million Americans.
(Anyone noticed Sanders public training of AOC to succeed him as party “bird-dog” to corral errant Dem voters, with spines more substantial than toothpaste, into voting for the DNC’s next “corporate lives/fortunes matter … most” candidate lineup.)

*** and very UNappealing, at least to those eff’n, soulless, dirty-hippy peaceniks
First, the title (and it’s a great example of what’s wrong with the democrats) is vice chair, and the dnc has four of ’em.
Second, the issue is and isn’t age. On the one end, you have David Hogg, who is 25. He was at Marjory Stoneman Douglas during a school shooting. To the best of my knowledge, he wasn’t shot. He didn’t even see the shooter in real time. He sheltered in place. It’s the left’s equivalent of claiming that they can see Russia from their backyard and are, thusly, imbued with special wisdom on Putin.
The democrats’ biggest problem is that they have, ESBC (ever since Bill Clinton), been purging (actively and passively) all the sharp older players. What’s left? Old people whose minds have gone soft (Joe Biden) and younger people whose minds were never that firm to begin with (Kamala? Stop talking about elephants like you’re addressing a room filled with 5-year-olds).
Old isn’t the problem. Stupidity, naivete, and inexperience are the problems. The Republican Party is filled with old people. Old white men. Look at everything they’ve gotten away with. If the democrats got half of the things the Republicans simply walked up and outright stole, we’d all have universal healthcare, UBI, and windmills and solar farms would be generating 106% of all our energy needs.
The dimmycrats promised to keep up the good work maintaining American hegemony, destroying any and all nations who didn’t do whatever the US ordered them to do. The raypublicans said this was bankrupting America and it had to stop. On 19 January 2025, president-elect Trump said the US must withdraw from the Ukraine or it would destroy the US economy. On 21 January 2025, President Trump said Russia must withdraw from the Ukraine or Russia would be destroyed. And here we are.
In my estimation, the Democrats would have to renounce capitalism, Zionism, and imperialism in general to galvanize the plurality of voters (38%) who consistently don’t vote. I will be very surprised if they do that.
