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

[Indeed, Hogg’s PAC, Leaders We Deserve, recently announced an initiative to fund young primary challengers in Democratic races.]

Hey that is pretty cool. We need lots more people like Hogg and AOC and Sanders.

The DNC is only another wing of the fascist corporatocracy /Kleptocracy /plutocracy their only function is to protect the capitalis that keeps them in power.

more or less the same donors as the gop, they arnt different, the only reason some of them are EVEN dems is that they are not right wing enough to be palatable to republican voters. they also make backdoor deals often, it was pretty obvious when mitch was still in control of the senate.

They argued the same thing in the NY 2016 primary case. You know... the one where 120,000 people in King's County just randomly got bumped off voter rolls a few weeks before the primaries with no recourse for registration.

These roll Purges occurred all over the country. I got purged during the 2016 primary in California but there was still plenty of time to reenroll despite the lack of warning.

I volunteered to work at a poll and countless numbers of voters were forced to vote with provisional ballots. Which meant they would be thrown away because they weren't registered to vote (but they had been at that location for years and were registered to vote)

Trump is on a mission to crash our economy, disappear people without due process, and participate in flagrant public corruption — and voters still trust him more than Democrats,” Hogg said in his statement. “That is a massive indictment of our party.”

Thats a damning statement

Proving him right, by doing more to stop him from running than they're doing to stop the fascist takeover

Well technically it's true that DNC are following protocol. Even if Hogg wasn't running challengers to his own party and insulting them publicly, the DNC would still probably be holding the party leadership chair special election later this year.

DNC Moves to Oust David Hogg After He Says Party Isn’t Standing Up to Trump

This title feels like a bit of a gaslight considering hes being ousted for saying his party doesn't represent their voters anymore. While not standing up to trump is part of it, its a smaller issue than the truth that the dems stopped giving a shit about their voters long ago.

God it must be so easy to be a republican, just blame everything on immigrants and do whatever you want to them, simultaneously not pissing off your rich owners, and making your dipshit voting base happy. Its a win-win scenario where only the country loses.

He's actually being made to run for party leadership chair position later this year because of a challenger submitting that they broke party policy, which is true.

A lot of the democratic establishment used to have a close relationship with Trump and took his money often over the years. Then Biden even helped him get re-elected by all the lies and nonsense last year.

Things are not as they seem and the plan is clearly not for the establishment Democrats to stand up to Trump, they want him doing exactly what he's doing.

This is because behind the scenes, it really is a uniparty, and the only thing any of them really care about is money.

Political parties and disagreements are for the lower classes.

Yes, Trump has given money to some Democrats in the past over the years. Guess what, Elon Musk used to be an environmental hero to liberal: in other words, people change. Have you ever once looked at the voting records and kinds of bills voted into law by Democrats and Republicans? I seriously doubt it. You just spout "both sides same" rhetoric without looking at the actual receipts.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

it really is a uniparty

It's very weird that 1/2 of the "uniparty" always votes to give gigantic GOP tax cuts to billionaires and 1/2 always votes against this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

they are playing thier part, they know the tax cuts will benefit the dnc as well, since most of them are as rich or richer than the GOP, its performative opposition, but a bunch of the dinos vote against any significant bills that could make dems lose thier leverage in future elections.

Sure are a lot of no-avatar .world accounts in here advocating against uniting against Trump and the GOP 🤔

You cannot reform the party. Either it changes you, or they have you removed.

Yes, the Democrats occupy and monopolize the space for a leftist party. That does not mean the Democrats are leftist, nor ever will be.
