Former DNC vice chair David Hogg suggested that moderates are unwelcome in the Democratic Party’s “big tent” as a string of primary wins by radical candidates signals that the party is heading even further left than it already is.
In the latest win for the insurgency, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed survived an onslaught of outside money to narrowly edge establishment favorite Rep. Haley Stevens in the Democratic primary for Michigan’s Senate seat, another indication that an increasing number of Democrat voters are taking the leap of faith in socialism.
Ousted from his Democratic National Committee spot at least partly because of his willingness to criticize the party establishment, the ever-humble Hogg basked in the warmth of vindication and delivered his message to moderates during a conversation with Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday’s edition of “The Source” on CNN.

“The reason why the establishment of our party is being defeated over and over and over again is because they don’t have the right values that are aligned with not the Democratic base, but the American people,” Hogg told the host, who is a dead ringer for transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, at least in President Donald J. Trump’s opinion.
“Where people are sick and tired of listening to Democrats and tell them all the reasons why they can’t solve their problems,” the ex-DNC official added.
When asked by Collins what he had to say to moderates, Hogg suggested that they aren’t selling what voters want from their candidates in the age of rage.
“I would say to the moderates in our party, ‘You need to figure out how to actually offer something new to voters that isn’t just the same message that you gave them in 2024,'” he said.
X users shared some thoughts on the “moderates not allowed” direction of the Democratic Party, which looks to be on the brink of a full-blown purge.
The left used to say that Republicans “don’t have the right values”. Now they are saying moderate Democrats don’t have the right values. This is un-American.

It’s depressing. I found an old Newsweek from 96 and i couldn’t believe how sensible democrats were: anti-crime, anti-illegal immigration, pro-blue collar etc. They’re unrecognizable now.

It’s notable that the vibe has shifted so substantially in such a short amount of time that we’ve gone from establishment dems touting a big tent to let the little guys in, to a discussion about booting the remaining democrats completely. Then again, we’ve been saying this would…

He’s right about them having the wrong values for mainstream American voters. What he doesn’t understand is his party is going the wrong way to fix it. Rather than change their values to match America, they’re trying to change America to match his values.

There are so many of us in this same boat it’s not even funny. They’ve turned away from the normie middle and sanity, and betrayed liberal values and fighting for the little guy, to become an ideological cult that thinks men can be lesbians and women are bigots for wanting the…

Just like Dems forced out the pro life people now they’re forcing out the dwindling number of people that believe in America, reality, and common sense. Sane American Dems need to vote Republicans just to keep our country until they can reclaim their party

After staking his claim to fame as a snarling little punk who capitalized on the 2018 mass shooting that claimed the lives of more than a dozen of his classmates at a Parkland, FL high school, Hogg matured into a political figure whose stint at the DNC may have come before his time, as is now evident by the party’s race to the far left.
