It’s hard to take the Democrats seriously anymore. Over the past two decades, they’ve drifted so far left that their policies and priorities now sit at the radical fringe of American politics. They’ve abandoned any pretense of moderation, embracing agendas that alienate everyday voters—and they have no one to blame but themselves. The party has turned into a self-parody, driven more by ideological fanaticism than common sense.
And they deserve all the pain they’re getting.
The Democratic National Committee's latest self-inflicted wound keeps getting deeper. After electing the manchild David Hogg as vice chair in February, the party now faces both internal turmoil and potential leadership changes that could have been easily avoided.
Hogg’s tenure has been controversial from the beginning, as he seemed more invested in exploiting his new position for the benefit of his own organization than building the party, and now he’s on the verge of being booted because he wants to spend millions to primary Democrat incumbents he doesn’t think are effective enough. This move triggered immediate pushback from party leadership, including DNC Chair Ken Martin, who pointedly noted that party officers "can't be both the referee and also the player at the same time."

Hogg, speaking to Newsweek this week, declared that he would "fight to build the strongest Democratic Party possible" even if removed from his position. This comes as Native American attorney Kalyn Free challenges the election results, claiming discrimination against women of color candidates in what she calls a "fatally flawed election."
Let's be honest here—the Democrats walked right into this mess. They elevated an immature child to their party leadership because of his social media activism rather than his actual political experience, and now they're shocked when it backfires spectacularly.
Make no mistake about it — the real drama started when Hogg's organization, Leaders We Deserve, announced plans to primary sitting House Democrats in 2026.
Even House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries had to step in, appearing on ABC News' "This Week" to publicly rebuff Hogg's primary plans. Jeffries emphasized his commitment to "stand behind every single Democratic incumbent" in the upcoming midterms.
The situation has become so problematic that the DNC is now considering changing its bylaws to force party officers to maintain neutrality in primary elections. That's right — they need to create new rules because they didn't have the foresight to see that David Hogg had his own agenda.
Democrats have only themselves to blame. They chose a vice chair whose primary qualification seems to be his social media following, and now they're dealing with the predictable fallout. Between allegations of discrimination from Free and Hogg's insurgent tactics against incumbent Democrats, the party leadership has created a circular firing squad of their own making.
This entire fiasco is a textbook example of why the Democratic establishment’s judgment is no longer credible. They’re not dealing with the fallout from one poor choice — they’re paying the price for a long-running habit of valuing social media clout over real-world political competence. When David Hogg was named vice chair, no one was more thrilled than conservatives. Why? Because we knew exactly how this would end: in chaos. Democrats, blinded by their own hype, never saw it coming.
In their rush to appear progressive and youth-friendly, the Democrats have managed to create internal chaos that could impact their 2026 midterm strategies. Really, they deserve all the grief they're getting — and probably more.
