Well, he's not wrong, but he also misses a lot.
Dems have abandoned men who just want to ‘get laid and have fun,’ David Hogg says https://t.co/ASjIMZs6NT pic.twitter.com/OezfY31I60

David Hogg spent some time with Bill Maher, and it was a very odd appearance.
As Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee--a job with no particular portfolio aside from being an ambassador for the party, Hogg has certainly stood out from the standard politicos who have inhabited such jobs in the past. The Chair has a real job--raise money and herd cats--and the Vice Chairs basically exist to be sops to constituencies within the party.
Hogg wants to make a difference--rather than hold the party together, he wants to reshape it into something more appealing to his demographic--basically, heterosexual beta men who identify as progressive, which is an increasingly small group.
WATCH: Bill Maher absolutely destroys David Hogg’s political career in under a minute. 😂

The Democrat party is cooked.

The newsy, clippable bit of Hogg's interview/discussion with Maher was his diagnosis for why men are fleeing the party, and in particular for why younger men have been leaving in droves after having hewed the line within the party for years: young men want to get laid and have fun, and the Democratic Party has been the party of killjoys.
NEW: David Hogg gets a huge reaction from Bill Maher after saying Democrats need to reconnect with young men who just want to “get laid and have fun” without walking on eggshells.

He said the parties have flipped. Democrats are now the snobs that judge your every move.

In acknowledging this, he's not entirely wrong, but neither is he entirely right. The Democrat Party is entirely fine with young men having fun and even getting laid--the party is absolutely obsessed with sex, and only likes freedom in any form if it includes consensual sex between queers or in front of a computer screen.
Who’s behind the pornographic pro-pornography ads being run in swing states on behalf of Kamala Harris? Not some porn actors or other such seedy, fringe folk. It’s a PAC run by an Obama administration alum. And a major funder is Reid Hoffman, co-founder and chairman of LinkedIn. pic.twitter.com/WvRSKv3L60

Heterosexual sex between women and men, while not strictly forbidden, requires intense negotiations and multiple dangers for men when Democrats get their way.
But Hogg doesn't seem to get that the problem goes much deeper than Democrats' focus on promoting a pleasure-based lifestyle for everybody but heterosexual men. It's that the Democrats hate masculinity per se, and are deeply hostile to the aspirations of men that go far beyond mere sexual pleasure (which men indeed do seek out and love).
MSNBC is worried 🤣

"@charliekirk11 telling pastors, "step up, stand up, get more involved politically." That’s having a big impact on churches across the country. Those churches are growing and they’re really growing among young men specifically. So definitely a big sort of… pic.twitter.com/BF2USYEa49
Democrats hate male ambition and all the masculine virtues and impulses, and young men have gotten the message. It's not just fun that Democrats virtue-police--in fact, certain types of "fun" (sensual pleasure) seem to be an obsession with Democrats (again, as long as men don't pursue having fun with women who are simultaneously girl bossed and dominant and sexual fragile flowers who are dangerous for young men)--but male ambition.
Democrats are hostile to masculinity, and "getting laid and having fun" are only a small part of that.
Nobody is lower on the intersectional ladder than heterosexual white males, and men know that. Until the Democrat Party recognizes that men are human beings too, and not solely oppressors, they will continue failing to attract them to the party.
