Personally, I don't care how much money a politician has as long as they do right by the country, do right by the people, level the playing field so all can work/play/make a living/get affordable health care etc... Being rich does not mean you came by your money dishonestly.

This is not directed at Hogg but at a lot of younger non-voters:

If you don't vote, don't complain. I'm all for a generational transition. I love Swalwell (38), Beto, Gillum, etc. But change doesn't happen overnight and there is a learning curve just like everything else.

Priority is November 2018. We're not "progressives", "socialists", centrists, bros. We're DEMOCRATS.
