The Dems saw that David Hogg was anti-gerontocracy and said his PAC might primary currently seated Dems (something a majority of Dem voters agree on rn) and they said "Fuck off forever" almost immediately, and got rid of him in a way almost custom designed to lose voters and empower the right lol.

glad it worked out i guess lol
People weren't saying try once and throw in the towel if you don't immediately succeed.
The Nazis took a couple generations to capture the Republicans with billionaires financing them.
You keep at it until you win or die trying.
They forget this older, long-time donor's money until they do a 180 on their losing strategy!
They're not going to give up their power. They do not want to be equal. They want power to be their birthright.
Maybe there were left wing once, but they clearly aren’t any longer. Stop voting for them. Stop sending money to the party that protects them.
Use your power. Demand better or walk.
DNC: We are vacating your election because we chose the dumbest possible way to run it and have suddenly decided that's a problem.
Dianne Feinstein is dead and she’s been replaced by a different senator in California. But hey, she was against Israel
But this DOES suck ass…

I didn't even think his politics were that good usually they only hate people who want universal healthcare, so what gives?
But fuck the dem party. I hope everyone who does follow him leaves the Dem party and organizes against them.
Let that ship fucking sink. It’s not doing us any good anyway. Better to be out of the way than complicit.
Old age should have taught you that, at least
We need younger voices.
We are doomed with this kind of infighting. Haven’t heard anything questionable out of Hogg…dude is fighting the good fight.
This is just more time-wasting because most white folks are afraid to vote differently than their dads.

Like I'm 100% certain Mitch McConnell is from just off shore of Innsmouth MA.

It's more mausoleum than political project at this point.
It should be a reasonable request as a sitting congress person that you are at peak ability to communicate and think and work. That's the job. If you can't do it, you can't do your job and you need to leave.
And there was a rep in that seat in between for 3 months that was the first dead rep’s daughter
Can’t think of a better microcosm for dem thinking
Rather, they see diversity as a cynical checkbox to grab the votes of the minoritized, just as Republicans claim
Please, everyone, forget the Democrats. They will never, ever help you. They only hurt.
The spot wasn't reserved. He won an election. they've nullified the results and vacated the post on the grounds of "do over". Full stop that's the issue at hand.
The only explanation for why dems are more unpopular than Republicans is that it's a retirement club for insider trading.
Christ the party apparatus is trying to make Slotkin a thing. Nobody wants that, they're so god damn out of touch.
People also instinctively think of ratfucks.
See that's a riddle. Good luck!

We need the right people in the seats, not just numbers.
Why didn't they codify Roe V Wade? Why did they let the insane minority Republicans steal the entire SCOTUS from them?
... wait I'm getting news that actually the complete polar opposite was true
He also hasn't really gotten the respect and support he deserves.

David Hogg has been removed? I thought he won?
Off to read.
The functional equivalent of your insurance company denying a claim and telling you to go waste time with their appeals process.
Even if you could, by the time you finished, you would have created an entirely different thing, a thing that is definitionally different to its origin
I don't see a meaningful third party arising, but the party has to want to be changed to change. Change from within is easier said than done...
White people have overwhelmingly voted for the Republican party in every general election for the last 60 years... in a row!
If they want something different, they could try voting differently... just once.
The strategy of settling for the lesser evil if it gets a win is what lead us *here*.
Political power doesn’t matter when you don’t have a policy agenda that will stop this mess from happening again
Most of them voted against Obama.
Most of them voted against both Clintons... and so on and so on... for over 60 years now.
At best, they do nothing,
At worse, they enable GOP/Trump.
We would literally not have this Supreme Court or anything that flowed from it in the last 20 years if 80% of white voters chose differently.
70-80% of white voters choosing Republican for over 60+ years has consequences.
Unless the party changes, it doesn’t matter how many votes they get
I will believe it when I see it.
I'm just saying that if and when white folks vote overwhelmingly for the Democratic party... just one time? All this shit will shift.
Hasn't happened since folks had pensions and strong unions... but when it does? I think those come back, too.
2. It's pretty normal that you gotta choose between opposing party incumbents or being part of the current party establishment.
Be opposition or establishment, you usually can't be both
She didn't lose because she was a woman
she lost because she was less electable
and it's more useful to the party to do this, than face any reform
Half the best progressive people I know are kinda assholes
Their politics is still good and based on empathy
Just personal spite to individuals
Take the lesson of 2016
She lost, on the merit
then
now
grow up
What CAN'T HAPPEN is a member of DNC leadership putting their finger( pac money) on the scale in ANY election.
Deleted my first reply because of that crazy link I hope no one clicked on.😩
I think i should get some rest

Already have a record low approval rating and everything I see is they want to drive that down even more
The dinosaurs had their time, fucked it up royally, and won't leave. Make them!!
They're furious because he's threatened their position even when they wanted him to 'improve the health/youth of the party' lol
