Here is David Hogg version of what took place at the DNC. Word for word his letter.

36. I have been one of several here complaining about the lack of younger voices in the Democratic Party.

Jaime Harrison was elected head of the DNC as a consolation after losing to Lindsey Graham and proceeded (in my opinion) to do nothing for four years. I never saw him on television promoting our causes. All I saw were emails asking for money but with no information about how it would be used.

Diane Feinstein stayed in the Senate far too long. And many here have criticized Schumer’s tepid response to Trump’s illegal actions. Nancy Pelosi has worked to prevent any sitting Democrat from being primaried and has used her influence to prevent some younger members from gaining important leadership opportunities, AOC being a prime example when she supported Connolly, who has now died in office.

We have comments here about how good Senator Murohy is, and many commenters here praise Jasmine Crockett, who represents the future of the Democratic Party, as does Hogg. We have not had a 50-state strategy for the Democratic Party since the days of John Dean. What we have had is a conservative focus on just winning a few key states without even bothering to campaign or support candidates in red states. In 2016, Hillary Clinton was told not to go to Michigan at all because it was in the bag for her. It was not. I do not see that approach as a winning strategy, but I’ve seen little from DNC Chair Martin that it has changed. I’m sorry to see Hogg leave because he was trying to force change to get the Democratic Party to move forward.

I’m sorry to see Hogg leave, but I’m sure it has been frustrating fighting a mentality of this is the only way to do things.
