Even when the status quo isn’t working to achieve stated goals and support long held principles.

Change is scary, often risky, but right now under Trump, not changing is far scarier and riskier.

I wish Hogg all the success he seeks in electing better Democrats who will fight to achieve the stated goals and support the long held principles of the Democratic Party.
