No I don't think incumbents are doing a good job, but I know David Hogg, his policy positions, and public outlook. He is not a good candidate in my opinion. I was surprised and thought he was running with the way he worded his comment.

You said he was primarying incumbents, led me to believe he was running
If he would make any public policy positions beyond gun control, maybe it would be easier to support him. But he seriously seems very one dimensional as a politician. That's not to say he doesn't have other opinions, but from all I have seen of him publicly is that he is very anti gun. I get it, I have friends who went to Stoneman Douglass, but they all say he is standing on the graves of his peers. It's a losing battle for the progressive movement, we have seen it time and time again. If he could push his PAC to make some real policy positions on things that are actually destroying America such as the consolidation of wealth and property, private equity firms, labor outsourcing, debt, national debt, inefficient or poorly maintained public services, climate change, etc, he would probably be more successful with less resistance from the establishment. As for existing members of the DNC who would be better than him, I couldn't tell you. From what I gather, he is getting a lot of push back for trying to get younger people into political positions, I fully support his efforts in that regard but he needs to get his plan together.
