He wants to replace the current group of old, complicit, corrupt neoliberals with young, maybe(?) less complicit and corrupt neoliberals. He does not want to replace them with progressives.
Edit: based on my browser history, I believe I formed the impression reading something in a Lemmy thread about a month ago probably related to this article, but I can’t find it again so I’m just gonna say I must be wrong.
I guess every media outlet that I’ve looked at is reporting this wrong for saying he was backing young progressives. Even his website claims that. But I know Democrats love to tease at being progressives to appeal to voters, and then shift back to the right.
How can one not be motivated to challenge the status quo and current administration? It’s not working.
I don’t really know this guy or his politics too well, but I think it’s unfair to label him as an “opportunist”.
Criticizing the Democratic Party for being complicit is seeming less like an accusation and more like fact.

Hmm,
maybeI’ve fallen for misinformation.Edit: I can’t find the thing that initially gave me the impression that David Hogg wasn’t progressive, so I’m removing the “maybe.”
Source?
I can’t find it, so I’m retracting the claim.
