OK, I don't know a whole lot about the internal DNC brouhaha, but this interview with @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social (he's the *other* Vice Chair whose position is at risk) is enlightening & worth a watch.

The DNC has protocols that don't include going rogue and not working like a team.

--If we're GOING to talk about it, have to do so honestly; says that Hogg has a "casual relationship with the truth." (ouch)
--Hogg statement claiming it's a smear campaign is BS and he KNOWS it's BS; complaint was filed long before he made his LWD primary challenge announcement
--Must unify the party & listen to what people want: 3 words: Make Life Better.
Do you know how Congress works? Did you fail US Government & Civics classes?
Don’t you understand how Congress works?
Go on, git.
The Republicans will welcome you home. After all, angry white men are their base.
I think we share a goal. And I regret using the word “dumb” because it is not constructive.
Fair weather Dems like you are what got us here.
You don't see the big picture.
Flip both chambers to get a significant governing majority, then you can nibble on who you don't care for and we'll likely fight you over it.
Get tf out otherwise.
If you think that is fair weather, 🤷🏼
--Reforming the Democratic Party does NOT mean spending every day on TV shows/podcasts saying "Democrats suck." (ouch)
--Closes by asking everyone who interviewed Hogg to also interview him so he can talk about what the DNC is actually *doing.*
I want more from the DNC and want it to shift more left than right. But there's a way to do it and a way to shit on everything
Join your state and county DNC and be the change you want to be if you haven't!
Not one dime of what I raise for Dems goes to me.
Sometimes the state party chairs in the past are to blame for all of it.
That’s not what they do.
Cuomo is not a DNC member. The Democratic Party in Vermont lets Bernie rig their primaries.
All of these are not the same. At all.
And the people who "shut down" Bernie were Black voters who don't and will never trust him because he can't even be bothered to spend 30 minutes walking across a bridge on Bloody Sunday.
Or care about them at all.
The problem is that the left refuses to admit is without caucus states where they can effectively control who votes, or open primaries which Republicans use to help Bernie because they know he can't win - he would've been out by super Tuesday in 2016 as well.
Bernie is a spoiler candidate.
There’s your slogan for 2026 or 2028, DNC!
Malcolm’s gooooood. 👍🏼
New ideas are great, but may not be as workable as he thinks.
Like his idea to primary Dems he doesn't like. DNC putting their thumb on the primary scales has been an issue for years.
If he gives himself time, he can grow out of this.
Intergenerational war is stupid, but it was ever us. Remember “Never trust anyone over 30?”
We certainly made our share of mistakes, though. Electing Nixon, for instance.

Not surprised things have devolved into this mess.
I like BOTH young men - but I also know the social factors that shape cultural influences.
