Saw that David Hogg is stirring up some shit for the dem incumbents (or sack of potatoes, as I like to call the) and I’m all for it and feel the exact same like finally

I think that word is actually “Democrats” because there is no one better at shooting themselves in the foot than a Democrat. The Republicans at least save that foot for their mouth
David's PAC? Over $600,000 for salaries, $12,000 in donations, smells like a grift.
And DNC executives are prohibited from engaging in primaries. He's violating his office.
If he wants to get into primaries, he should resign.
DNC officials don't pick and choose between primary candidates, they support the party in various ways and run presidential primaries, that's it.
Lots of people wrongly think that the DNC leads the entire party but it doesn't.
State & local parties are affiliated but separate. DCCC & DSCC exist too.
It amazes me that people watching Trump burn down the country defend Democrats that, with few exceptions, have sat with their thumbs up their ass. Or worse, facilitated by giving their votes. Save us from liberals and their cult of personality.
It should be a lesson to us all that a majority of them, especially in leadership, wanted this. They just didn’t want to do it themselves, so they intentionally lost to the worst candidate in history, and then they (mistakenly) think they can puzzle it back together
just wish he didn't say he was giving pelosi and schakowsky a pass, are these octogenarians who we need leading the charge right now? even if you had some fight in the past you got to know when to walk away or else you become an anchor
💯 though I get not wanting to unleash the fury of the elders, best to toe the line with them and then just pray that they see the light and retire. Funny how they both were critical of Joe waiting forever to drop but they probably think they’re spring chickens
i'd take unleashing the fury of the elders, at this point that would mean they are actually doing/reacting to something, kick the bees nest, now is not the time for deference, if you aren't willing to fight and meet the moment it is time to step aside
That’s fair, but I can see the political maneuvering Hogg is using to handle those two especially. Pelosi still has a chokehold on the caucus even if she doesn’t hold the gavel, though Hogg is also probably trying not to give either of them a heart attack
it is just any dem registering to run again at 80+ are putting themselves first, and the party/american public second, i think it would be pretty easy to message that they have served well but now is the time for fresh blood, it is the same reason i am frustrated with sen markey and even sanders
Absolutely!! They are great at paving the way for themselves but once they’re spent, they hold on for dear life until the very end or until they lose to someone like AOC. I wish her win would have seen a wave of fresh blood but maybe this next go around if Hogg keeps the momentum up
In a sense, he's not wrong. But my fear is it might be an overcalculation. It's way too early. Let's worry about the midterms, if we even have midterms.
I think it’s good to put the iron to the feet now, especially seeing them lose the Florida special elections. Let the incumbents know that even though the rage is directed at Trump, they are just as complicit by not doing anything to slow him down
Anything like what? Our system gives no power or authority to minority parties unless they could peel off enough Republicans to get a majority vote.
Our founders decided that the majority gets the government they voted for, for better or worse.
I see someone hasn’t been paying attention. There is plenty that could be done with the minority power, but the Dems are too scared to draw any rage away from Trump.

You're right though, someone sounds like zee Republicans in here... that's for sure.

What proof do you have?
Voters lose elections, not candidates.
The proof is in the pudding.
This is probably the silliest sentence I’ve ever read.
maybe pressure from ken martin? where is his "people's cabinet"
i did like how hogg got the ol' lizard carvel, and cuomo the nepo-baby sex-pest bothered and calling him a "twerp"
