62. I suspect David Hogg has good reasons.

There have always been snakes. Kyrsten Sinema, Jill Stein, Joe Lieberman, and Joe Manchin all come to mind as people we should have been campaigning against.

I vote ethics. That makes me a democrat. I don't vote team, I have read George Washington's final address, I know where that leads. Hogg is in a position to see ethics and so far he appears to be strongly ethics based. Carville is DLC and is the first one to jump on the bandwagon to get rid of ethical democratic representatives.

If a democrat got in trouble for saying they were against fascism, Carville would be right there calling for them to apologize and resign.
