The DNC cited a procedural concern, but Hogg said it is “impossible to ignore the broader context” of his criticisms.

2016 primaries were awful. DNC super delegates kept Sanders out, showing the worst aspects of super delegates. Establishment GOP couldn't keep Trump out, showing the worst aspects of a lack of super delegates.

    The supreme court picking George Bush as the winner over Al Gore doomed us.

    That is why I get pissed off at the people who blame nonvoters for Trump and say blue no matter who. No. That kind of thinking it’s what lead down this path in the first place. You don’t keep participating in a corrupt system hoping it will get better. You destroy the system

    Nah, that's probably the only thing I applaud the RNC for. It was very clear that Trump was not their choice, but when their voters spoke, the RNC shrugged and said "alright, let's party." Where the DNC endlessly schemes and plots and weasels its way into running the footgun. Democrat voters groan "no, not the footgun again! What the fuck are you doing?!" And the DNC says "look, you don't understand, it's the footgun's turn, they've earned it. We just need to compromise and blow our legs off one last time. Now is just not the right time to not blow our legs off. Americans just won't vote for not blowing our legs off. And, I mean, what are they going to do? Vote for the guy with legs? Lol, lmao. Now hand me that gun."
