John, did you
see the Teen Vogue story about David Hogg and Leaders We Deserve?
Here’s an excerpt from David’s interview:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have two major problems in our party: We have a courage problem and we
have a competition problem. Because we don't challenge the status quo or
people who are in safer blue seats nearly enough, we [end up with certain]
candidates who get really comfortable. And if there's anything that I've
learned from activism and organizing, it's that comfortable people —
especially politicians — do not change.
They will tell you nice things. They will say that they care about your
issue or whatever you're fighting for. They will give you as much lip
service as possible, but ultimately, they are not necessarily going to
fight for it. One of the only things across the board that will make a
politician do the right thing, regardless of whether or not they support
you, is by threatening the one thing all of them [seem to] care about,
which is their job.
Everybody in our party wants to do two things at the same time that are
incompatible: They want to win and gain majorities, but they also want to
do that with the same cast of characters that brought us here. The reason
they talk so much about focusing on our messaging is because you can
change the messaging without changing the messenger. But the reality is,
given the fact that we've talked for about 15 years about how we have a
messaging problem, it's gone beyond a messaging problem. It is a messenger
problem.
