David Hogg on Pushing for Dem Primaries: ‘There Are Older People Who Are Great, There Are Young People Who Suck’

EXCERPT:

HOGG: “It’s clear right now, far too many people feel like Democrats are failing to meet the moment. And I think that we need to show, especially considering the past election when we lost vote share with nearly every single demographic, what we are doing to change our party and show them that we are offering something new, fresh faces and new ideas. And let me be clear about one thing as well. There’s a lot of people out there who want to make this all about age and say that we’re just targeting people because they’re above a certain age or something like that. That could not be further from the truth. There are older people who are great. There are young people who suck. Unfortunately, it’s not like you just get above a certain age and you start being terrible. It’s a lot more nuanced than that. Are the candidates we are supporting younger? Yes. But the people that we are challenging, it’s not like, oh, it’s just because they’re above a certain age that we’re going to be challenging them. It’s about effectiveness and being able to meet this moment."
