Ummm
This is the DNC
Thats her
Until she's kicked out like Hogg.
Hogg left the party after he tried to undemocratically tip the scales of primary elections using his seat as VP on the DNC board and he was removed from the seat but not the party after it was brought to light that the election that put him on the board failed to follow longstanding anti-discrimination policy. He chose not to run for the seat a second time.
DNC Chair Ken Martin tried to compromise with Hogg before his removal, stating the DNC would remain neutral in all primary elections, and that Hogg could continue to support candidates in primaries as long as he did not do so using internal DNC records or funds, and Hogg refused.
Hogg was extremely moderate, saying his strategy was "winning back young voters who have drifted from the Democratic Party to Republicans".
Things you didn't have a problem with until Hogg. You certainly didn't have a problem when it was Cuellar.
Which lasted until Mamdani ran against Cuomo.
You just cover your lies with more lies, its more effort for me to reffute you than you to just make up additional bullshit.
None of what I said was a lie.
The truth is a lie to Blue MAGA.
You accused the DNC of kicking Hogg out, then you accused me of supporting undemocratic actions in primaries, then you accused the DNC of primarying incumbent Cuomo with Mamdani which is an absolutely wild claim with no basis in reality.
They did.
You do.
No, I'm saying that party leadership put their weight behind Cuomo when Mamdani ran against him in the primary. Try to pay attention to something other than the party's apologia.
You must be so disappointed that only 7 democrats voted with you on ICE.
They removed Hogg from his seat on the private board to redo the election which put him in the seat because it did not follow longstanding party policy. Hogg chose not to participate in that redo election and left the party of his own accord.
The fact that you would try to lie to me after I already explained this to you once before shows you're just a compulsive liar.
Which they wouldn't have done at all if his independent organization hadn't been trying to get people to primary incumbents. The pretext doesn't matter; he was kicked out.
This is the same party that forced Harris on us without a primary. The same party that put its weight behind Cuellar, ostensibly because they protect incumbents, but their unwillingness to protect Cori Bush or Jamaal Bowman showed that to be a lie.
