But, but, he wanted to undercut traditional Democrats.
With what?
More of the same.
He won't challenge Zionism.
He won't challenge Nat-Sec Nutsacks on Ukraine.
His "Leaders we Deserve" on their one touted success? Palestinian-Americans think that Maxwell Frost is a sellout.
Where does Hogg stand on climate change? Stronger unionism? National healthcare?
In the shitter.
Per A Current Affair, he backs Hakeem Jeffries and Nancy Pelosi. Nuff ced.
Well, no, per my rhetorical questions? Let's quote that piece:
Despite this rhetoric, Leaders We Deserve currently offers no policies on its website. There’s no mention of Medicare for All, no Green New Deal, no commitment to organized labor, no mention of campaign finance reform, and no stance on Gaza1—just vague reformism and pop-up ads asking for money. “Sure, he has said he is for gun laws, healthcare for all, and free college,” Yasmin Nair writes of Hogg. “[B]ut there is scant evidence that he thinks all of this is tied to a political agenda: it’s all a cynical move to elect people into office.”
There you are.
Wait, no; this footnote at the bottom of the piece, the "1" in the block quote above, explicated:
Notably, Hogg has said almost nothing about the genocide in Gaza—the most urgent moral crisis of our time—apart from a meandering, nervous response when pressed by Bill Maher to condemn student pro-Palestine protesters. In a Rolling Stone interview, he acknowledged that Gaza was “emblematic of the fact that people felt like we were not listening to them—that we didn’t care.” But it’s still strange that someone who became an activist after surviving a school shooting would have so little to say about entire universities being leveled by U.S.-made bombs.
THERE you are.
I already know this; that's why my questions are rhetorical.
That said, that ACA piece has its own problems, starting with it running Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Justice Democrats up the flagpole and saluting them.
