(36,392 posts)Or bother to ask where the misleading claim in the OP title came from. Too busy piling on a Democratic activist with more vitriol than I've seen aimed at Republicans from some. I saw the same thing happen a few years back at AOC. Too emotional, they said. Too young, not professional or strategic enough. She wasted her time talking to people.on Twitch. She wore.the wrong dress to the Met Gala. It went on and on and on.And now they've turned their ire.on David Hogg, a person who's been through more.trauma than some of us can imagine. I admire.him and I hope he and others like AOC are the future of American politics.
. To an outsider looking in, Democrats should be trying to draw in more people, especially young ones, regardless of those people not.holding.the same view on everything. The only thing that matters is getting rid of Trump or at the least making him a very lame duck. What shouldn't matter is all that crap I saw about being strategic, doing things incrementally, staying in the centre politically to try to win, playing it.safe. Isn't doing all that what's led to.the mess the US is in now?
Anyway, that whole thing was more like 50 cents worth and I wouldn't have said anything in the first place but for the frustration I felt reading some of this thread. Then again, I routinely feel frustration when I delve too closely into US politics. It's such a shit-show
