DNC Panel Recommends Firing David Hogg

A Democratic National Committee panel on Monday recommended a new election for the post held by Vice Chair David Hogg, whose effort to challenge "asleep at the wheel" Democrats sparked a firestorm in the national party.

I have met thousands across our country who do not feel that our party is fighting for them- there is a reason for that. Many of our elected leaders are not and are failing to meet this moment. It is time for that to change.

We can all see it sinking under the weight of "corporate donations".

Precisely. Bill Maher (and Joe Rogaine) are both gloriously-paid protectors of the status quo-- two Judas Goats who distract, defend, and deflect away from real issues. Dr. Robert Reich-- a smart guy-- falls into the same category. Last year he posted a lengthy video explaining why the Dems lost in 2024. Prof Reich argued that the Dems lost because of messaging, not highlighting the economic successes of the Biden Admin, which is partially true. But Dr. Reich completely skipped the atrocious Nakba in Gaza which killed 50,000 Palestinians and the appalling number of annual gun deaths in the US which killed 48,000 Americans in 2022. These are the issues that mattered to David Hogg and 6,265,888 progressives on 5 Nov 2024. US Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) and the other Aipacosauruses and NRA-dactyls must go.

What If David Hogg Wins the New Election and Isn't Fired at all?

#14: The corporate dinosaurs in DNC will do unto young David Hogg what they did unto venerated Bernie Sanders in 2016 for the mortal sin of threatening their precious status quo (which catastrophically led America to Trumpf 2.0 and a Likud triumph in Gaza and the West Bank): youtu.be

Hogg might actually breathe new life into the party, no wonder the ancient gasbags in charge are concerned.

Then what indeed:

D.N.C. Takes Step to Void Election of Hogg and Kenyatta as Vice Chairs

Mr. Kenyatta expressed frustration on social media--both with the committee's decision and all the attention on Mr. Hogg, noting that he had won 298 votes to 214.5 for Mr. Hogg. He called the decision "a slap in my face," and said the process was not about Mr. Hogg "even though he clearly wants it to be."

Even though he is young and green, mass shooting victim Hogg is not allowed to ---- up by running his mouth off

Democrats will campaign in 2026 and 2028 on nothing more than fearmongering Trump.

They might as well run Hillary Clinton / Kamala Harris in 2028.

All their actions are guaranteeing Republicans will win upcoming elections for the foreseeable future.
