DNC chair Ken Martin said that the controversy surrounding Hogg “destroyed any chance I have to show the leadership that I need to.”
Uhh then I think he needs to look up the word “leadership” in a dictionary. Good leaders don’t usually blame their subordinates for their own deficiencies. Hogg isn’t doing anything that would prevent Martin from growing a backbone and actually leading the party.
Blaming Hogg for Martin’s shitty instincts is childish and transparently ineffective. I was always against Martin as chair, and he continues to make all the mistake we knew he would make.
I'm pretty sure the establishment leaked the audio where incumbents were complaining about Hogg. I know this because they're accusing Hogg of leaking the audio. What an odious bunch.
Yes this is a crisis of the DNCs own making. If there was good leadership. Then what Hoagg is doing would not be a threat to it.
In the next few months, watch how democrats treat elon musk and compare it to David Hogg's treatment.
They need to consider holding a new Chair election, because Martin sounded like whiney child in that audio.
A better way to say this would be "DNC is still holding a new vice chair election after audio leak"
Because this has been going on for months and nothing has changed since before this call was leaked...
I don't know how people can say in one thread that MSM is owned by billionaires who manipulate us, then turn around and believe MSM that the DNC is corrupt and we shouldn't support them.
They wouldn't say shit when neoliberals ran the DNC, and they're saying shit now because a progressive can win the next primary with this DNC. They'd rather have a third term of trump than a progressive.
Don't fall for it.
Many Democrats said party officers shouldn’t take sides in primaries, and Martin proposed requiring party leaders to remain neutral in them. Hogg had pitched a compromise, suggesting an internal “firewall” that would bar him from access to sensitive information in primaries his group, Leaders We Deserve, were involved with. But Martin rejected that deal.
“Party officers have one job: to be fair stewards of a process that invites every Democrat to the table — regardless of personal views or allegiances,” Martin said, urging Hogg to stay neutral.
IMO this is what it's all about. They can talk about 'procedure' and 'distractions,' but at the end of the day Hogg has committed to running primary challengers against dead weight Democrats.
Neo-libs going to neo-lib.
“For weeks I’ve pointed out David’s causal relationship with the truth,”
Causal or CASUAL?
