Status Quo Democrats Furious at DNC Co-Chair David Hogg

Thursday, April 24, 2025

"A week after Democratic National Committee vice chair David Hogg unveiled a controversial plan to back primary challenges to longtime party incumbents, anger at the activist-turned-Democratic leader is only intensifying among party officials. These Democratic critics say their fury at Hogg has grown amid what they see as his ill-conceived and insufficient efforts to make amends for his planned primary campaign " a campaign that, they say, threatens the DNC's neutrality and its capacity to fight back against Dotard Trumpf." Young David Hogg represents a genuine threat to the well-entrenched and calcified Democrats who let the NRA, Wall Street, AIPAC, the military-industrial complex, and health insurance companies dictate congressional legislation for decades.

#1: Yup. Another sign that we know young Master David Hogg is correct is by the exaggerated squawking of the brontosauruses. If the entrenched Democrats paid attention last year, on 5 Nov 2024 the Harris/Walz ticket may not have lost the 6,265,888 voters Biden/Harris had in 2020: assets.editorial.aetnd.com

Why would a neutral DNC fight back against Trump?
This is kinda the whole problem with the Democrats.

As it stands, the Democrats are being handed 2026 on a gilded platter, assuming the Republic still stands. But I don't doubt their ability to message so poorly people just walk away in disgust and confusion.

2026 is another election for the Democrats to lose. Last year the DNC eased out a supposed brontosaurus in Joe Biden, but these octogenarians are holding on to power in a death grip that will take us all down again. Besides the oligarchs, the GOP, and the interest groups (e.g. the NRA, AIPAC), who benefits from David Hogg and the youth movement being marginalized while the DNC status quo remains firmly in place?

Can you imagine telling the masses in 1789 France or 1917 Russia: "Um, if you want to win, you need to move more to the center...."

"Status Quo Democrats" Who? There are either those who agree with David Hogg or those who need to offer a yet-to-be-seen worthwhile alternative way forward

Currently the dems have the amazing ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Besides beating trump, there was no way on God's green Earth the worst congressional majority in history dpshould have won. Whatever they end up as, it has to have the ability to read the room. The economy was the issue last year for everyone but them.
They let trump own the issue with his lies instead of educating the population on what was going on- inflation was global after the pandemic and America was doing better than the rest of the world.
Then again, as long as Americans are happy to vote against their best interests...
Looking at you Muslim Americans, Venezuelan Americans, veterans and farmers.

I agree with the chair, you want to primary an incumbent, you cannot be vice chair. It wastes money and in the end, may keep the House from being taken back.
And yes, Hogg has a right to demand that his party listen to the young and powerless.

That's so cute. You believe that MAGA has the ability to learn and grow. You could have beat them over the head with a hammer while we saw you the truth and if they're still no way they would have ever voted for a black woman.

Is there NO Republican who can post without including their loathsome fantasies???

If I was in any conversation where one participant kept bringing up child molesting and/or truckstop sex, I'd conclude the problem was with him.

Riiiiiight.

On your landing page, there are over a half-dozen posts with references to dung, dumpster sex, crossdressing, creeping on kids, gay sex producing a child, and penis problems.

"textbook..."

Yeah, pretty clear.

True. You can't tell the difference between a corporate Democrat and a Progressive with Republican piss streaming down your chin.

It's long past time for the party to move forward. Playing republican lite over and over is a dead end street. All these 80-year-olds in power need to go. Things like sensible gun control and healthcare should have been resolved decades ago.

Yup.

Likely a reason why the DNC put Mr Hogg in the position.

imo, this thread shows why that was a good thing to do.

Yeah, sure - THAT is the reason why the vote total was 6.3M lower than 2020. You can't lose votes that never existed numbnuts. Election integrity and voter ID is opposed by the Dems for a reason.

My ex was a librarian in Philly, I helped her out with many Drag Queen story times. Never once heard anyone talk about their junk. Stop getting your news from liars.

"Drag Queen story times. Never once heard anyone talk about their junk"

As a tax preparer for folks in the arts, I have several Drag Queens as clients. I guarantee you, they aren't thinking about sexing the children. They're thinking about how to deduct the mileage, hoping they'll remember to pick-up eyeliner on the way, and wondering how to get kid's puke off chiffon.

You know...glamorous stuff.

LOL, H&R Block went all for their temp workers this year. That aside, when are you going to link to back up your claims that the .1% got 50% of Trump's tax cuts? Still searching for anything that remotely resembles your claim?

So, your current trolling alias seems to have nothing relevant to the comment it is replying to besides an apparent lame deflection attempt?

Why is that not a surprise?

Holding people accountable for their actions is logical. I provide links for everything I state - you dipshits state your wrong opinions as fact and cry to mommy when called on it. But again, Danbitch jusgt has to provide a link - it is something you would expect from me so why do you have a double-standard now? Like I said, someone need to adjust your bot algorithm.

But what does that have to do with your current trolling alias' comment I replied to?

... I provide links for everything I state ...

I saw no links in your current trolling alias' #39 comment. So, yet another lie?

... you dipshits state your wrong opinions as fact and cry to mommy when called on it. ...

Projecting? Why the need for the ad hominem attack?

... But again, Danbitch jusgt has to provide a link - it is something you would expect from me so why do you have a double-standard now? ...

Again with the ad hominem attack. Is that the best your current trolling alias can do?

That's the best it has got?

I mean really ...

Do try harder.
