David Hogg will not seek reelection to his Democratic National Committee leadership position after the party announced Wednesday that members had voted to redo the vice chair contests he and Malcolm Kenyatta won in February.
“Ultimately, I have decided to not run in this upcoming election so the party can focus on what really matters,” Hogg said in a statement.
Hogg’s decision not to run again ends a monthslong intraparty fight between the young gun control advocate and much of the national committee that has distracted from the party’s efforts to rebuild after devastating 2024 election losses.
The outgoing vice chair has accused party leaders of attempting to oust him from his position over frustration with his plan to primary “ineffective” Democratic incumbents in safe seats through his PAC Leaders We Deserve.
While it is true that visible billionaires like Elon, or Peter Thiel, or Bezos think they are immune to the society that enables them, it’s not just the Elon’s of the world that control everything. If Elon/Bezos/Gates/Zuckerberg were assassinated, nothing changes. There are more Billionaires you haven’t heard about. The share-holders of railroads and defense industries, energy sector magnates, secretive CEOs of private holding companies you’ve never heard of are their pawns, the entrenched rich. The ones that fund K-Street in the US. The ones that ensure the only viable politicians support Israel.
It’s families with generational wealth that are so sheltered they don’t participate in the same society as us. These are the people who know they wouldn’t be safe if anyone knew who they were, and they have learned generational lessons. They are still just humans, but until the legal, financial, and governmental structures they’ve assembled over the last few centuries are dismantled, nothing can be improved for the rest of us.
Wouldn’t need to take out many for the rest to go to ground. They aren’t all stupid. All the public Nazis plus a few dozen of the more private ones. Wouln’t even be hard. They congregate at a handful of country clubs and Warren Buffet’s house.
