Nothing changes unless the American oligarchy wants it to change. Any of us with less than 9 figures are just pawns including all of our politicians left and right at every level of government in every position. I’m not endorsing this, I hate it but it’s the truth. — PolitiTweet.org

CC: @mackenziescott throw in a billion and get 10-20 like minded people to match you or throw in a couple hundred million. Until we can vote in November you and others in your position have the best shot at changing this. All these politicians care about is $ — PolitiTweet.org

The billionaires the left is often accused of being funded by Soros et al are not nearly as powerful as the right makes them out to be. How do we know? Because if they were and the left had our own Koch Bros this would have never happened. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

Should billionaires exist? No. But they do and they will probably for the rest of our lives. In the meantime we’d be fools to act like they don’t have power we can and should use. The right has been doing that for years as has the left (just way less effectively) — PolitiTweet.org

Our country is run by a couple hundred billionaires. I guarantee you if a just a couple dozen picked up the phone over the next 24 hours and called up the party bosses of every state GOP and said they’re pulling funding and funding their opposition things would change quick. — PolitiTweet.org

If you’re playing a game where the ref says you can legally trip and fist fight the other team you don’t just sit on the sidelines and wait for the ref to change. You beat the shit out of the other team, win the game, change the rules and find a new ref. — PolitiTweet.org

The only way to defeat a Koch brother is changing the rules of the game. In the short term the 2nd best way is to get your own Koch Bro for your side. — PolitiTweet.org

If only there was a recently divorced multi billionaire who cared about abortion rights and probably will make all that money back in the next year anyway from her stock in a certain rainforest named company… — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

I hate that this is the truth but I can tell you while voting is important and helpful nothing drives change and changes hearts and minds quite like legally paying off a fuck load of politicians. If I had that kind of money that’s what I’d be doing rn. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

I mean you could probably get a collection of billionaires to get the money together and they’ll make all of it back and then some next year anyway from interest on their investments. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

It can’t cost more than like $10 billion at most to legally buy off these republican state legislatures and moderate Dems though donations. Let’s get real that’s all they care about. They’re just going to keep making it harder and harder to vote. All they care about is the $ — PolitiTweet.org

@fuckcancer56 Hi. I am in my 3rd year. Even though you might not see what we @AMarch4OurLives are doing on the news all the time we've done quite a lot these past couple of years along with me learning how to live with PTSD and being a student. Here's a whole thread. https://t.co/SnHS61JsTP — PolitiTweet.org

This isn't about the abortion ruling is this about literally every issue Dems claim to care about, especially in my case gun reform. Congress and national Dems aren't going to do shit A. because the filibuster and B because they are horrifyingly incompetent. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

Nothing is going to change in the next decade or two from congress even if we abolish the filibuster unless democrats get their act together. They didn't over the last 10 and they won't in the next 10. We need to invest long-term and focus on states rebuild the party from there. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

Everyone who sees this- other than voting and running for office there is one more thing you can do to help change things. I highly suggest you adopt a state legislative race in one or more of the following states AZ, PA or MI. Either donate time or $ to one close state leg race. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

@CutterRambles If the squad or even moderates didn't have the filibuster they would get a lot more done. That's what we can do in the states — PolitiTweet.org

@dawnbelue @CarlosGSmith @ShevrinJones @AnnaForFlorida @AngieNixon @micheleforfl You can be 21 and run in FL it would be great to see literally any representation of my generation. The above people will make great mentors :) — PolitiTweet.org

But if someone would like to donate said imaginary $50M to @AMarch4OurLives feel free to send me a dm. Thx — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

I mean that. Someone, please make this idea happen. Even in a perfect world if was offered $50,000,000 right now to make this happen I couldn't, simply because I know don't have the time or experience. But someone else should! — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

I don't have the time or money to make this happen but if someone does feel free to take this idea. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

Every state legislature should have its own version of the squad- a group of 5-10 progressive legislators under 25 from around the state who don't take special interest donations and work to weed out the corruption, promote justice and democracy, and bring in some fresh blood. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

Who knows how many will end up actually running but still we have young people like @NabeelaforIL @samcaoohio @MaxwellFrostFL @RayReedMO @KarlCatarata & others running across the country. If you would like to run for state legislature dm me. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

I helped get 10 young people set up to run for state legislature today. Not only has Gen Z had the highest youth voter turnout of any generation in American history- but now we are running. Taking the movement from the streets to the ballot box and into state legislatures. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @bobpoe: @davidhogg111 If you're more concerned about a SCOTUS document leaker than the wife of a Supreme Court Justice participating in… — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

Yes a leak from the SCOTUS is deeply worrisome and needs to be investigated but I am a lot more fucking concerned a sitting justice's wife worked as part of a plot to overthrow the government and there's no investigation. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

So let me get this straight- one leak from the SCOTUS and the marshal is called in to investigate by Chief Justice Roberts but a sitting justice's wife literally plotted to overthrow the government and no investigation? Interesting. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

The left has yet to build a proper and impactful counter to the federalist society and ALEC. We need both for gun reform, voting rights, abortion rights and more. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

The Judicial Branch hasn't been independent since the day the Federalist Society came into existence and it won't be until it and no other organization like it no longer exists — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

The Federalist Society is destroying our country, the Constitution, and the independence of our judicial system. There is no check on the other branches when nearly all the judges are controlled by one organization. I can not overstate the danger FedSoc has put our republic in. — PolitiTweet.org
