EXCLUSIVE: David Hogg lost his vice chair job at the DNC amid his threats to take on “ineffective” Democratic incumbents in primaries.
EXCLUSIVE: David Hogg lost his vice chair job at the DNC amid his threats to take on “ineffective” Democratic incumbents in primaries.
Finally...the end of a major distraction caused by a person who never grew up.
Of course we want our ineffective democratic incumbents. Why should we look for effective ones???? We like status quo! Look what we got with them already.
They’re redoing their member election. David could run again but he’s taking his ball and going home.
He knows he would lose because the party elites hate him.
Don't tell anyone in this comment section that. These are people who hate democrats more than Republicans and just want chaos to continue.
And THIS is why the Dems are making themselves more irrelevant by the day.
The only problem is that we are not seeing anyone strong enough to step up and take the reins of a fully competitive Independent party. It’s like trying to herd cats! Even Bernie caucuses with the Democrats. AOC and Crockett are Dems, as are Talib and most others.
Because America is built to crush independent candidates. It's a 2 party system. There is a large swathe of democrats that would never vote further left of them, and you sure as hell aren't gonna convince republican voters to vote for a further left independent.
This is exactly how the DNC keeps its power. They stand on being "not the right" and everyone just has to kind of accept their shit because "well its not AS bad as the facists" Meanwhile they make all the choices for you and tell everyone what they want, even against the people screaming no
Do you support Trump and the GOP Putin puppets instead? Because, like it or NOT, that is the choice, folks. The Independent possibilities are very, very quiet. I’m not hearing anything productive from them. Not a damn thing! So….if they remain mute, the choices are limited. Sorry hard Left.
If you think the two party system doesn’t work, then work to change that. But, caveat emptor, It does take money and damn lots of it! So the cold hard fact is that unless the Left can actually finance that kind of opposition, work within the system to get the most acceptable candidate out there.
That's a great look!
David Hogg got too big for his britches and caused chaos when we’re up to our necks in chaos. He could never be a Gavin Newsom!
We don't need a Gavin Newsom, nor do we need another Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, or any of the other triangulating centrists that got us here. We need real progressives on the left. When Dems tack to the center, they lose. Hogg saw this and I had some hope. I have less now.
They’re so addicted to getting imaginary future suburban donors that they’ll keep losing easily winnable elections. Speak to the material needs of the working poor and they’ll turn out for you.
Hogg will be elected Chair of the DNC eventually.
Time to flood the DNC with messages. GET DAVID HOGG BACK!
We need David Hogg and many more like him. We need young people. Pelosi needs to retire.
Accountability is a weird thing.
The Democrats haven't learned that yet.
The old farts being , well, old farts. GTFOH!
Again Democrats with an outsized say in the party have made another losing choice. This is no different than Clinton or Biden being anointed before the rank and file got to choose with one key difference, he was already chosen to take on this role and it was overruled.
Uggh the Democratic Party needs to get with the times!!
Ken Martin claims "his leadership has suffered due to the clash". No, his leadership has suffered due to being a weak leader. Leadership is leading: you shouldn't expect people to be pliant and obedient at the top levels of a national political party. Fucking pathetic.
Trust Politio to write a misleading headline.
Maybe that is a job best done from outside the DNC. I do believe the ‘Seniority’ bias is wrong TBH.
The pathetic party of joyful genocide somehow keeps digging its own grave even deeper. Good riddance
Blue MAGA joy
No!!!!!
This is how the dnc always acts in a crisis.
He can and hopefully will be elected again next week.
Can we just dump both parties and start again?
We should get rid of ineffective politicians. Bring in people who want to right for us!
FIGHT for us!
Unfortunately the Democratic party seems to be a shoot yourself in the foot party. They have always been their own worst enemy.
Alas, serious GOP voter-suppression tactics and scorched earth fascist policies are now finally exposing the GOP as everyone's worst enemy - but, of course, one might not know it by how ABC and other networks soft-pedal the news.
Yet another unforced error.
Great, now Hogg is free to run for office himself and can show everyone how it's done.
Sorry someone pointed out how old and ineffective many members of your favorite team are
If Hogg wants to fund primary opponents for sitting democrats he is free to do so. And the DNC is free to not.
Of course the party fired the person that would actually help them win.
Every time.
He wasn't fired, he chose not to run for him chair again.
Why do you think he made that choice?
He was't "booted" by the DNC. There was a procedural is with the election of both Vice chairs, and they voted to redo that election. Hogg chose not to run for Vice Chair as he felt he could be more effective with hsi PAC outside the DNC.It's in the article, but the headline is misleading for clicks.
Oh stop. We all know why this "procedure" happened. This wasn't out of their hands 😂 this was a deliberate move to punish Hogg and remove him for insubordination
We all know god damn well they pushed him out because he wants to hold people to account and he wants the party to GASP, actually support and back candidates who are interested in more than their own war chests. He was a danger to the glad handing status quo. This super voter leaves with him.
No way
Absolutely! This was their Waterloo, they are dead to me in their entirety. David is the face of the future and because he wanted to hold people accountable he was pushed out. F*** the DNC! Every text I receive from them or their flunkies will get the stop response from me going forward.
I think this will give him even more ammunition to primary those Democrats. He's independent now hopefully he raises $40 million and we should be helping him do it
He's not independent now. He is supporting candidates in Democratic primaries
I meant as far as not being a part of the DNC so he's free to help primary whoever he wants in a Democratic party now without any bitching.
Hey dumb dumb…are you a bot or just stupid,
I have an idea. Let’s win seats currently help by republicans
That has been the DNC strategy for over 20 years, and lol where it has gotten us. Weak, feckless, and utterly unable to fight. Instead of, I don't know, bolstering our base instead of trying to peel away MAGA, and Tea Party voters by cozying up to the center right?
I have an idea - go fuck yourself!
This is the way
Count me in!!
I hope he loudly highlights this as further proof that the establishment Dems and any others not interested in doing their jobs have got to go. They're making his case for him here, especially with this happening just after the DNC Chair was caught whining about his job requiring effort
New blood is needed. Let the younger ones lead. The old timers can barely use a computer, much less navigate the pace of change today. We need quick thinkers and folks who are nimble.
This development doesn't prevent younger people from running for office.
They want him gone BECAUSE he wanted new blood. He wanted them to do their jobs or get replaced, Ken Martin nearly started crying because of it, and now they want David gone. They don't WANT new blood in the DNC. They want to keep their existing power
You should call yourselves Jacobin' and have done with it.
I like David, but he’d rather lose on principle than compromise and win. He’s about as practical as sandals in a blizzard. In case no one noticed, we need to win, and that means in every race we need to think strategically and run the candidate with the best chance of winning.
"compromise" is how we fucking got here. people don't want a spineless compromising DNC that constantly capitulates to the republicans and gets nothing in return. we want a party that will fucking FIGHT them and fight FOR good progressive policy everyone supports.
That’s one axis of the graph, but it’s not the whole solution. In every single race you’ve got to find the furthest left candidate THAT CAN WIN. You can run an AOC clone in New Hampshire and I guarantee you they’ll lose. This isn’t about the electorate you wish you had. It’s about the one you have.
if you only look at the voting habits of people who voted in prior elections, you will forever be moving toward the right. you need to inspire people to vote who have given up because the democrats promise nothing. AOC should be the furthest right of any candidate being run from here on out.
Never trusted him myself.
The headline is a lie as the article itself makes clear. Politico is a clickbait farm and 200 rageaholics just proved it.
Where would the Democratic Party be without its legions of geriatric, senile, 20-term absentee incumbents?
Big mistake.
That was close, Democrats were almost at risk of losing their Republican base.
what a fucking mistake.
classic Democrats, trying to lose already in 2028
Sigh. One step forward two steps back.
Certainly the Democratic Party does not need infighting at this time.
They need leadership. I don't see any in there.
Uh oh
The dems looking after the bought and paid for rats as usual
You Go Girl.....
They can keep losing again now 👏👏👏👏👏👏 fucking morons.
So soft @kenmartin.bsky.social
Good thing the DNC is a totally ineffective joke.
Ineffective. Let's focus on that a moment. If they're ineffective why are we holding onto them?
And the libs are eating their own. They can’t get along with anyone … not even themselves
Yeah, that was dumb of him. He had solid points, and wasn't wrong, but coming out of the gate middle fingers up was a dumb move.
All the reason why the DNC has no imagination nor support!
morons
Only the DNC could be facing down an dementia ridden authoritarian leader turning the military against the population and still manage to make themselves like the worse choice.
“In 2021, Axel Springer, a German media company, acquired Politico, a US-based political news site, in a deal valued at over $1 billion” - consider the source ppl
#Politico is owned by German billionaire Matthias #Doepfner who‘s media empire #Springer is working with #Palantir which is owned by Peter #Thiel who owns #Vance on who‘s Venmo was #BariWeiss who is writing for #DieWelt who published #Musk endorsing the German Nazi party #AfD. 🤷♀️
That is why we will not win another election for a loooong time. The Democrats all have their heads up the a$$es.
No that's not really true. The democrats will continue to win every other election forever because a large percentage of voters respond to incompetence by voting for the party out of power and both parties are incompetent. That's why the democrats don't care to get better: they don't need to.
dangerous cope
He chose not to run for his seat again. Malcom Kenyatta is progressive and will run unopposed but you guys all fell for Hogg's bullshit.
You fell for Kenyatta and the DNC bullshit. Kenyatta is a lying, backstabbing pile of trash. The DNC is not his cause…. HE is his cause. Repulsive.
DNC shoots itself in the foot again.
Idiots. They forced out one of the best reformers they could have ever had. And believe me, any party that managed to lose to a lying, cheating, manipulator like Donald Trump is in dire need of reform.
He could run again he chose not to. Gotta play that perpetual victim card like Bernie and Trump!
I don't recall Bernie ever playing the victim card.
Pu$$ies. They couldn’t find real leadership if it smacked them in the face.
This cowardice is how the democrats lose in one of the most consequential mid-term elections in the last 100 years.
He’s not wrong
And FUCK THE DNC TOO🖕
Dumb move!
I still predict great things for David. The DNC is wrong.
DNC is fundraising. That is all they do. So spare us your indignation.
He deserved to be booted.
For what? Having new ideas?
Ya gotta hand it to them. After every election, the Democrats are always hard at work trying to lose the next election.
This is complete bullshit!
Shame on the DNC. You are condemning us to more of the hell we are living with now. Let the youth lead, their energy and passion may save this country yet.
Bye bye bitch
The country is on fire. Get your shit together.
Of course they removed him... ANYONE who dares to go against the Dem Party's tradition of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is doomed! THIS is EXACTLY WHY the United States needs to end the Duopoly of Rs & D's.
I'm glad he's using his voice, but he'll need to learn how to navigate adult conflicts. I hope he learns how to hold himself accountable. We do need young people who are willing to get involved.
How to hold himself accountable? He suggested that the DNC do their fucking jobs or get replaced. And then Ken Martin almost started crying because of it. Pretty sure the DNC chair that nearly started crying when told to do his job isn't handling adult conflict well
I’m referring to some of his comments that upset people. He didn’t word it well and. Think he alienated a lot of women especially.
Some of us women need to get thicker skin ! We all want to be treated equally , and then when someone tells us the the hard cold truth, some of us all of a sudden want to be treated with kid gloves ! We all need to come to deal with the fact that @davidhogg.bsky.social ‘s generation is our future !
Yeah, but I think the comment was pretty crude. when you work for voters, you have to have a public presence. And making sexist comments to a party that supports feminism wasn’t smart
Go create a Progressive party instead of hijacking what’s left of the Democratic Party-it’s win/win for everyone
I doubt that the complainers have ever attended a political party function. I think most complainers are white males who think the entire Democratic Party should shift their views to align with what that particular white male thinks.
You may be correct but ignoring sex or race there is a fundamental disconnect between math/economics and the real issues we need to solve-too many Progressives think 10 Billionaires can pay for all their desires and the rest can be made up by the Govt printing money but that’s not how it works
Awesome, stop bitching about leftists losing democrats elections then
Do Democrats really want to muzzle and boot out much-needed young voices?
No, we shouldn’t. Watch, you can guarantee the dem elites have their own bots on the already. I’m tired of this party as is.
I find it odd that one DNC Vice Chair position MUST be held by a male person, while the second Vice Chair can be held by anyone. Does that seem like a strange rule to anyone else?
Maybe this makes some sense as it's explained as follows: "This is intended to ensure gender balance among the DNC officers... If there is a gender non-binary candidate or officer, they are not counted as either male or female, and the remaining officer positions are divided equally."
There’s a “rule” that states that? Then that rule should be challenged as blatantly misogynistic.
I read about it tonight. The first I heard of it.
Blatant misogyny is acceptable now.
You know DNC better get their shit together before midterms. If they blow this the people running the DNC are all done. This is a once in a lifetime event to get rid of the Republican Congress! Vote the Republicans out of office, don’t leave one behind, it’s your civic responsibility as an American!
Is that right? That's bizarre. Seems like a throwback to the 1950s or earlier.
I just read it in an article about the DNC voiding the appointments of their two VPs.
I see that now: "male vice chair" and "vice chair of any gender". WTF. Best case it's something where the first one alternates every time maybe? If it's set for men always that is very strange.
The DNC added, “look, David, we’re an organization of professional losers. You don’t fit in.”
When you upset the old, and I mean old apple cart!
Fuck the Dems. i was 20 when Parkland happened, and am horrified a bunch of ancient fucking assholes handled this the way they did. My brother was at MSU and his friend was killed in 2023. Establishment Dems support their own wallets and school shooters over the future generation of leaders
He should organize and do it anyway.
He should
Politico lying again
New election next week, I guess.
Time to boot the DNC! Enough feckless BS!
@politico.com carries water for the bloated orange raping Nazi TRAITOR. Fuck you!
You Americans just need to replace your ruling class. They are self-serving, rusted-on, fossils who will destroy your democracy in their dotage.
He’s couldn’t get elected ASB president. The kid is obsessed a the sound of his own voice
Controlled opposition-ass party.
The Democrats are really rocking this defeat of Taco, they all knew his weaknesses and absolutely used that knowledge to kill him in the election. Oh. They didn't? They stayed with the 80 year olds? Ah, sorry, wrong timeline. Go back to your martial law timeline now.
No, as has long been evident, the DNC has lost the plot.
Watch for more decrepit, old senile shenanigans. Get rid of the non-entity that is running this shit.
Don't rock the boat, kid....
This isn’t true and I believe you know that it isn’t true! Shame!
I want a party that I truly want in power, not just a party thats not Republican. Can we please get some fresh people in there with fresh ideas?
We had one ^ and his pretty true to that of most of the democratic electorates push to reform the party got him kicked out. The majority of the DNC and Elected Democrats are owned by corporations. We need real leaders who actually represent the people.
No. Because the DNC doesn't want that. They are a right wing party, despite their constituents. They'll force more candidates no one likes or voted for on us, and expect us to vote for them out of sheer terror; knowing as much as we claim to hate the two party system, we keep voting back into it.
But the Soros Club runs that party !! They want to keep their people and agenda !!
Troll-bot
democrats are gonna democrat
This is one of the most stupid things that the DNC has ever done and why we need to replace the entire leadership of Dinosaurs and useless backbenchers. Young people like AOC and Hogg are the true future of the party, not these old losers... We can start with Schumer!
Cdnt agree more👏🏽
In case you had any hope the DNC was going to actually offer up candidates that listened to the people and not just large corps and billionaires.
David was not being a good boy and playing possum. We can't have anyone trying to accomplish anything.
This is so frustrating. They didn’t even give him a chance to produce a viable plan towards injecting the party with new leaders. It is not ageism, things have changed and we can’t have leaders die in office.
His sin was wanting younger candidates to primary the octogenarians that keep dying on the job and leaving open seats.
they were always going to toss him once he made it clear he was genuinely ruthless on this point
💯
They did not toss him, read the article…
Ya that's why they held a meeting where they explained how attacked they felt by him. They don't want him there. He opposes what they desire. The DNC are in it for themselves, always have been
Right, the meeting where Ken Martin almost cried
Well you see, David really hurt his feewings by suggesting they actually do something. No one in the DNC has ever had someone say something as mean as suggesting they do their job
This is the worst possible time for them to be this out of touch
I didn't ask to hear from you.
Ok Trump….
I have to admit you got my ass there.
Age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill
His shortsightedness might get be that there are few organizations that are open to a brash young person coming in and challenging power. Emotional intelligence is a very real skill. I agree with most of his observations, but there is an element of casual cruelty to his communication style.
Now he doesn't have to play by their rules and can still help get those same Dem candidates elected.
why should he provide candidates to a party that just told him it has zero interest in improving the party?
Because the way election law works in this country it's easier and less risky to take one over from the inside and hollow it out than it is to set up a third party. Single member first past the post elections are brutal on smaller voices.
This is basically what the tea party did to the GOP.
The Tea Party did it to more quickly install farther right candidates. David Hogg wants children to stop dying in schools, and - ya know - be sure there's a chance at the American dream for his generation, and beyond. That's not radical.
Right. I'm not talking about the goals, because their goals were basically "implement fascism." But the idea is that a party can be pushed towards an outcome via primary challenges, as demonstrated. The goal in this case is to move the dems to be center-left rather than center-right.
i think the goal needs to be a lot more specific than that. "center left" means a million things to a million people. Tea Party worked because they could say "this is the mission, either get on board or get buried". im not sure that a similar statement could be made to "move slightly left, maybe"
the tea party was a billionaire astroturf
Be that as it may, the strategy was to primary "moderates" and anyone not sufficiently fascist. And it succeeded very well in the House.
agreed, im just saying i dont expect any billionaires to be funding "tea party for the left"
Pritzker might. Makenzie Scott might. Can't think of any others.
And we shouldn't really want them to...
those efforts have been made forever. the Dem party is completely hostile to any such "take over", to the point where they would rather lose to Trump than cede even an inch of ground. if 3rd parties fuck up the Dems chances, maybe that will get through their thick skulls finally
...losing to Trump twice after beating off the left, and winning with Biden and Obama when the left was included doesn't seem to have changed any minds. Why would it be different in the future?
DNC: Spineless, freckled, & about as effective as a dial-up modem in 2025, still proudly coasting on nostalgia from the Clinton era. If DNC wants to be part of the solution, they must get a spine transplant & send a breakup letter to their corporate sugar daddies. @thedemcoalition.bsky.social
Dems need to be courting the younger voters. This move will bite them in the ass.
Never ran for or won an election to the public. Yet Harvard boy attacks his own team. Come on man.
@democrats.org you guys suck. What an empty vapid clueless corrupt party.
Shockingly, it turns out both of your major political parties serve corporate vested interests. A plot twist to those watching at home, half-a-world-away. I know, I know. Perhaps you do need a new third party, one that will represent the people in lieu of monied backers? Up to you lot.
Jesus. Gonna double down to kill anything that won’t lick a boot,I mean claim to be *centrist*. Wtaf is center of fascism?
Of course - vote for independent candidates!
FCS, get your act together, DNC. There's more than petty grievances at stake.
No one actually read the article, just the headline. Pretty emblematic of why this country is in the mess it’s in.
Yeah, it's too common. Anyone who does now is almost a rare breed at this point.
Those incumbents who just sit back, collect corporate donations should just leave. Be Republican. Far less effort and far less responsibility.
Incumbents w/seniority are all hostage to the lobbyists & moneygrubbers. Until we reform our democracy to admit more voices, we will be trapped in this doom loop. Duopolies are sinister. And undemocratic.
The machine ate him.
Then don’t vote for them.
It’s all about the game and how you play- Motörhead. He didn’t have to say a word and could have been pulling strings behind closed doors
Boot trump, instead. Did trump declare war on American soil yet? Not yet. California has until 9 a.m. Thursday to submit a response to the court. Breyer, a former Watergate prosecutor, is presiding over the lawsuit. time.com/7292875/trum...
More importantly, if the fascist President and Congress enablers are not dealt with and focused on, there will be no primaries.
His heart’s in the right place but now isn’t the time for infighting.
Time to get your ducks in a row Dems. Too much is at risk.
David Hogg has a huge following who may turn against the Democrats, splitting the party. It's a mistake for the DNC to use such crooked tactics to get rid of him. This could blow up in the DNC's face.
This whole scheme to redo the DNC chair elections is the crooked tactics which I was referring. That was nothing more than a scheme to get rid of David Hogg. It seems the DNC is getting into the habit of screwing over members over disagreements. This shows weakness and failed leadership.
Ken Martin is a crybaby ass bitch. He needs to be replace with someone who has balls.
shortsighted.
This is infuriating. Hogg is right the democratic party's failed leadership cost us the last election. I will vote and support Mr. Hogg any day over Schumer and his gang of ten. This is a costly and stupid decision by the DNC. It will cost them many democratic voters - it has already cost them me.
But, but Schumer said we will win!
Seriously Schumer is the perfect icon for what is wrong with the democratic party. He is a tired useless no longer functional institution. Mr. Hogg has fight determination and legions of supporters that wont be voting for democrats in the term elections. Supremely stupid of the DNC
bsky.app/profile/eliz...
Hogg will not run for re-election "Hogg made the announcement in a lengthy statement that criticized the Democratic Party for a lack of vision and a refusal to pass the torch to the next generation." Old stuffy and failed leadership.
We will see the snafu (situation normal all F upped) is appropriate. It is part of the old worn out democrats plan to remove Hogg. We will see if the DNC has any sense or courage to change.
Mine too! F*** them. This 64 year old super voter for the first time in my life thought that perhaps for once they had seen the error of their ways. Nope! So I will leave with David. He is the future of politics.
They're gonna fuck it up again, aren't they
Yep
They gonna fumble the bag
Don't tell you even believe that the Democrats are the ones responsible for why we slid into authoritarianism and why the Trump regime is doing things that are so terrifying?
The republicans are responsible for that but it’s really telling that the Democrats can’t come up with a platform to combat it. It’s like, the worst
Politics have changed completely Democrats still playing like it is 2004
Exactly. The Republicans play by the new rules and crush Democrats. The “when they go low, we go high” era has been over for at least a decade, maybe two.
No they won't. And Democrats have been winning special elections across the country.
Ooooh, goody, a handful of special elections. Yippee.
Ya, they're gonna do great with their policies like Schumer voting in favor of Trump bills. Or ousting anyone that dare oppose their corporate overlords. Or promoting Trump as a viable republican candidate because "it'd be an easy win for hillary" Real good strategies
We need less 80 year old lifelong politicians and more people like Hogg.
You're using the same stupid logic that prompted Genocide Joe to run again. Be fucking real already.
Discontent doesn't mean support. Labor in the UK has been learning that the hard way.
Only because they aren't Republicans. Don't mistake popular discontent for party support.
👆
That's the lesson the Dems didn't learn from 2020. People were sick of Trump so they voted for Biden. By 2024 people were sick of Biden so they just didn't show up. The Dems invent reasons they lost, but never consider that people don't like not being represented. #EndFascist #EndNeoliberals
yup, right after they turned the keys back to Trump after just 4 years
The DNC is rotten. Too many consultants, not enough leaders. The Hillary for President campaign hollowed them out a long time ago and they've never recovered.
Idiots.
don't hate the feckless cowards, hate the game
"amid" doing a lot of heavy lifting here 🙄
#retirethedinosaurs
How many people commenting about why we’re here actually voted for Harris? And how many protest voted third party or said their vote hadn’t been “earned?”
I’m 70 and the DNC does NOT represent me.
It’s a shame that the DNC didn’t want to go in a different direction | we do need new voices and new leadership so I hope David is able to get that done!
Oh hell yeah…. This super voting 64 year old is following David out the door. He is the only hope we have of breaking the old mold and moving forward.
Well Hogg, you’re making a lot of money from somewhere to create problems while the party is trying to do something. Dems supported you and now you’re a jerk!
The old guard is clueless.
It's sad. Hogg shook up the established Democrats and they had to make life difficult for David. But, thanks for trying Mr Hogg....
We can still primary these old turds in his name.
Smart move DNC. That guy is an albatross.
That about wraps it up for the dems. I remember when they stood for something.
This is an exceptionally short-sided, dare I say, stupid move.
Very misleading headline. What is happening is that they voted to hold the election again because they didn't follow the proper procedure before and someone objected. Hogg gets to run again if he wants to.
There you go throwing facts in like they matter or something.
Which is his choice as the comment I responded to “Hogg gets to run again if he wants to.”
They want him gone. This isn't just "oops a mistake" its specifically because they want him gone. The DNC do not like him after he came after their throats. They aren't shy about denouncing people thst oppose them or their corporate sponsors
They knew he wouldn't run again. They would have endorsed his opponent if he HAD run again.
Sure is a fun coincidence though that a redo had to be called right after Ken Martin's nearly started crying because Hogg suggested they be replaced if they don't do their job. Funny funny coincidence.
Likely . The DNC hardliners are insisting to dig the same hole they are in deeper. They need to find an approach that will welcome the next generation in, or the midterm results will look a lot like 2024.
They wana dig the same hole because it's how they keep their money and power. I cannot express enough how little the DNC cares about helping or doing the right thing. They want to appease corporate sponsors, win or lose And so many democrats defend them because they're a bit better than the right
Well said
What's wrong with Kenyatta?
There is nothing wrong with Kenyatta. He has said he had more than enough votes to win a Vice Chair seat the first time. He is going to run again. We are getting to see how the sausage is made, and it is seldom pretty. The election was challenged before Martin became Chairman. More…
The vote 294-99 to redo the election is decisive. The discussion to keep leadership neutral is wise especially after the optics surrounding the Hillary, Bernie Sanders questions of party leadership neutrality. David Hoggs roll in leading the PAC may be the best fit for him right now. More…
“DNC boots Hogg out is misleading “
Very misleading story you're helping the DNC spin. The story is bullshit and you know it.
Honestly I don’t agree with all his politics but if we don’t find someone who’s willing to fight and get aggressive, we’re going to lose every election.
www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol... Politico Owner CEO Mathias Döpfner Told Execs to Pray for Trump: Report
time for gen Z to form a party, two gens and nobody will remember the dnc.
The billionaires control the dnc/RNC dictatorship and all the media. #ETMFR
Schumer needs to go. And go now so we can move ahead as a party and not be held down the spineless coward
Respectfully, in my view blaming a single person for the lack of vitality is not the right approach. Chuck should be sent packing— along with almost all the old incumbents who love their perks, but are embarrassingly brain dead.
In a political party with hierarchies of rank, experience, and elected positions of leadership, it is very much the right approach to put extra emphasis, expectations, and pressure on those at the top, such as Chuck Schumer who has been a long standing party leader.
Thanks for sharing your opinion.
Goodby David, come back when you have gained more insight
Idiots. This guy is the future. Or should be.
The DNC's just no place for people that don't crave a corporate-friendly status quo.
I think David Hogg will be able to promote strong candidates now and this will not stop his work.
Here’s why Dems keep losing elections. Lack of fresh candidates and a sclerotic generation of oldsters who refuse to get off the insider trading/lobbyist salivating gravy train. If your party pays lip service to the people but governs for self interest? How are they better?
Fuck the DNC.
I support David Hogg.
He's definitely not the answer.
17 follower account has answers lol.
I didn't even ask for the 17 followers. Lol
What's your answer? What's your idea? Because the DNC has nothing.
I wish the answer was easier then people like myself exclaiming what we don't need. We need reasonable foundational leadership with a voice that resonates with all.
and that leadership is nowhere to be found in the DNC
Most irritating thing online. Folks who make a statement but don't explain why they made the comment.
Best thing about online discussions is intelligent people can ask questions. Thank you! His lack of understanding the deeper parts of issues and his extrem point of view are a turn off. We need reasonable people not just the loudest youngest ones.
What a shitty post. That is NOT what happened. If I know that, then you “professionals” know that, too.
Care to clarify further for everyone else who doesn't know?
Not well. Malcolm Kenyatta did on Chris Hayes awhile back. They originally won a slot that was actually reserved for women candidates. It was an overlooked, procedural error. Women objected & they have to run again. Not as sexy as what the perpetually persecuted Hogg claims, but true.
So what I'm hearing is the DNC doesn't even know how to run it's own organization well. Fantastic. I'm sure they'll do great things going forward.
What you are hearing is that people within the organization goofed. When pointed out, they rectified it. Not sure why Hogg is afraid to compete w/Kenyatta. Wait. I do know.
How dare he hold them accountable and force them to do the will of the people.
Click bait headline
The Democrats only message they want to convey is “Orange man bad”. If you try and build a message beyond that or disrupt their status quo they will cancel you. I’m willing to bet that the Democrat party dies off before the Republican Party does.
They don't even do "orange man bad" very well with how fast they drop any attention on any of the shit he does. 2 weeks from now they won't say anything about LA ever again
I'm with Hogg...all the Dems in congress should be replaced with new younger Left, even the ones I like, because they all failed us by not doing their most mportant job...protecting the public from Confederates taking over America...UGH. If we still have free fair elections VOTE NEW LEFT
The DNC is not interested. They've been fighting for more conservative and pro-forced birth candidates. They've worked hard, to replace Progressives with such. They would much rather someone like Trump win than a Leftist.
david hogg suffers from WEMS (white entitled male syndrome) where rules don’t apply to him.
What does his skin color have to do with his desire to fight harder against the trump administration? Be specific.
That's your take on this? If he were black, would he be okay in your eyes?
“I have joined DNC and will fundraise to get rid of the people DNC helped elect.” “You might want to rethink that. Fundraising against the people we represent might best be done outside the organization that’s made up of people you want to get rid of. Btw, you can run for vice chair again.” “No”
DNC is controlled opposition and those chairs wanted to be actual opposition to the fascists. The party heads have chosen the side of fascism over making anything even slightly better, yet again. The party won't even have a base by 2028.
He needs to keep it up and call them out. Eventually some of them will listen.
Because they have no other pressing issues? FFS
The DNC needs cleaned out. The audio leak of that weak bitch literally crying... Holy shit. The party can't be saved with people like this running it. "I'm trying to get me sea legs..." :'( STEP. DOWN. I'm not donating another cent to Act Blue with someone like in at the helm.
Shame on you Politico. This is not anything close to factual.
Politico always frames things in bad-faith, but this is an *absolute* lie. I cannot stand when people complain about Democrats and messaging, when we’re up against the media with a narrative to push. Politico’s narrative is always Dems in disarray and the latest GOP script.
The DNC establishment sees no reason to change. Schumer and Jeffries will lead them to the good shepherd.
Compromise is the key
Because thats the only way to save that party. Establishment losers get to destroy the country another day.
This is when they really need aome new, you nger people -
No, he left his position when it was decided that the election that gave him that job was unfairly run and had to be redone. His choice not to run again
The lady who brought the complaint literally voted for the way it was run and supported it until she lost.
Well whatever her complaint was, it was decided by a rules committee that it was a valid complaint. He isn’t the only one who had to run again
They cleared the field so the other guy could run unopposed.
“They” He chose not to run. He wants to with his group
Yes, the DNC leadership cleared the field so he could run unopposed. They.
The stacked rules committee
Electoral politics is a dead end. Without a general strike and full-on non-compliance w authority, we are done.
Democrats, get your shit together NOW.
DNC needs to get its act together, in-house fighting doesn't help anyone.
Yes it does. It helps people who want the Democratic Party to beat MAGA.
I feel bad for Malcolm, he does not deserve to be tied up in this controversy
We don’t deserve to have Dems do nothing for years. Like what kind of job just lets people do nothing
What do you mean they collect cash from AIPAC, Exon Mobile, Insurance Companies and dark money groups. That’s hard work.
I read that it didn’t happen for the reason Hogg said - it was a procedural Roberts Rules Order & Politico didn’t mention Rep Malcolm Kenyatta at all. He wants the voters to decide & said the DNC can’t be an incumbent protection racket. See Cancel Me Daddy 5/22 YouTube interview.
That's truly a shame. He's an amazing young Patriot. Much smarter than 90% of the hacks now living forever in the dem party! The Dems have repeatedly proven themselves to be ineffective and weak. With few exceptions, they should ALL be removed. Bring David Hogg back!
that's not a very accurate summary of what's happening but you do you Politico. #centrists
No money to the DNC.
Sorry @DNC but you keep making it easier and easier for me to vote 3rd party - I want leadership we deserve and you spineless, backbiting, craven power seekers are completely useless
To have any effect, you need to vote for whoever most closely represents your views and actually has a chance of winning. Or just set your ballot on fire. Or vote third party.
Maybe they'll learn the second time?
You mean Dems right? It would be a third time though because they have already run republican lite candidates and lost more than once very recently. If progressives can tank the party why capitulate to republicans and not progress? That AIPAC money must be worth losing democracy I guess. Oh well.
Yeah I was pulling the ol sarcasm there Didn't land 😔
Oh sorry 😣 /s/, indicates sarcasm when in doubt.
I've watched David for a long time. He has the drive and charisma to win elections. I see him as a future president.
And which psrty do you think he's gonna run for? No way in hell the DNC let's him run as a Democrat. And since the entire system is broken you only get Democrat or republican
The Dems must be consumed and the neoliberals spat out.
Of course you psycho leftists care more about hurting Dems than defeating the real threat. That is why we are here.
How is David not a “real dem”?
No we want to make the party better so they can beat Republicans.
half of the people who vote for Democrats are progressives or Leftists.
Don't bother with that creep. He's not a real boy, just a MAGAt spewer of distraction.
You need to examine the votes of some of the more prominent members and then ask yourself who's side are they on? Who do they actually represent. The neoliberals that support the fascists and lose elections MUST be removed.
I think there are people that need to be out too using the DNC to do that is stupid. Hogg can do it from his pack and cater to all of his bros that just want to get laid or whatever bullshit he's spewing.
Ah yes the best way to get laid is famously running a PAC.
Fuck off with that MAGAt bullshit. You are out of your depth.
The Dems have become as much a threat to we little people as the republicans. With the exception of a few young strong women Democrats refuse to give up the status quo and fight for the nation. Jeffries and Schumer are both wastes of flesh…. Always “concerned” never willing to act.
Young passion…..
So it’s the same old same old.
Time to change your voter registration to independent
Misleading He gets to run again
He’s not wrong…
The DNC is so in touch with Dems that it doesn't have a BlueSky account.
Every time.
If he wants to do something useful for the country, let him mount a vigorous campaign to convince *all* Americans to demand an end to dark money in politics. You know, that thing that got turbocharged when a RW network tried to air a Hillary hit piece during 2008 primaries??? #EndCitizensUnited
As a bonus, if he really was successful getting people to STOP just shrugging and rolling eyes at efforts to limit campaign financing, he’d probably be able to help destroy the NRA’s lock on gun laws in Florida. That thing that made him a political activist in the first place.
I liked the idea but I can’t stand him. The entire DNC is run by no name idiots who can’t even be bothered to get on tv for an interview.
This isn’t a personality contest.
It is though
Then you’re voting for all the wrong reasons.
Give it a rest Politico
