In an era where the GOP is increasingly authoritarian and anti-democratic, we need the Democrats to defend democracy and advocate for good public policy. But the party as we’re learning from the David Hogg situation has a democracy problem
internally.

Kartik Krishnaiyer who has been active in the party for 30 years has seen this before. It’s a party which thrives on gatekeepers who are protecting their turf and resort to anti-democratic means to maintain control (and cash flow) internally.

Instead of fighting Trump they’re protecting their own turf and access.
