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

61. :leaders We Deserve is doing the work that the DNC *SHOULD* be doing

If the DNC were doing their job, there would be no need for LWD.

Imagine if a networking company was still trying to sell 56 K "baud" phone modems. Imagine if a car company was still trying to sell the "K cars" of the 1970s. Imagine if Blackberry was still trying to sell Blackberry -- or Visicalc or Word Perfect (Actually Corel still does sell that.)

An age-old question is business is, "What is Marketing? Figuring out how to sell what you have pr figuring out what you need?" In most companies. it is some combination of both. If all you are doing is selling what you have, you are dying. And that's where the DNC has been for 2 generations.

"selling what you have" is the same as saying "seniority". There can be wisdom with age, but it is not automatic. Seniority is the opposite of wisdom with age. Seniority is the Peter Principle. You get some of that in many organizations. But that is doubly bad in politics because there is such a limited number of positions. When we have deadweight filling those slots, that blocks out the people with more energy, more relevant expertise, and better ideas.

And that is exactly the profile Hogg's organization has been seeking. It is too bad the DNC has decided to go the opposite direction, because that is a dead end. And this time, it could be the death of our democracy.
