‘We need to build a Democratic Party that is authentic, relatable, earns people’s trust, and wins again,” the new vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee, David Hogg, wrote recently. That’s a sound enough prescription. So, what did Hogg propose to do to see his vision through to fruition?
“We have to stop being cowards — it’s time to be bold, aggressive, and to fight,” he added. It’s not entirely clear what Hogg meant by that, what his vision of bold, aggressive fighting looks like, or how his disposition corrects for the Democratic Party’s current approach to political messaging. Indeed, his recommendation that the DNC provide “a tsunami of content” akin to Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s recent performance on Instagram Live suggests his tenure at the DNC will yield more of the same.
