David Hogg to Democratic Establishment: Get the Message or Get Voted Out

""going to get the message or they're going to get voted out.""

""They think that there's going to be some kind of democratic Tea Party and it's going to be a bunch of progressive lefties that are younger and super pissed off and we'll vote all these people out,but I don't actually think that's the whole picture.""

""It's because the people that are marching by the millions right now in the No Kings Day protests are not young people. They are people of Chuck Schumer's generation that are extremely pissed off with him.""

""What we want to do with Leaders We Deserve is not just elect younger versions of who's already there," "We want to elect younger people that have the chance to actually have integrity, support them with millions""

Establishment and corporate-backed Democrats face significant electoral risk in upcoming cycles if they fail to adapt to voter demands and generational shifts. Older leaders in Washington are perceived as increasingly out of touch, with large protests including many people from older generations expressing anger toward long-standing party figures. The current Democratic leadership makeup draws criticism for age and institutional inertia, prompting calls for new leadership. The organization Leaders We Deserve aims to elect younger candidates who differ from current officeholders, provide them financial support, and prioritize integrity and a renewed political focus.
