The DNC cited a procedural concern, but Hogg said it is “impossible to ignore the broader context” of his criticisms.

      We can’t stand up to Trump, but we can stand up to this kid telling us to do our jobs.

      There needs to be an age and income bracket limit for people in government service, these rich geriatric fucks are going to get us all killed.

        Elder liberals telling younger voters/activists to STFU and get in line, then blaming them when turnout sags and conservative democrats lose purple seats, is the tragedy of the modern era.

        Holy shit, yes! I’d take it a step further and say “we can’t stand up to Trump, but we can stand up to anyone pushing us to be an actual opposition”. Ten democrats joined the republicans in voting to censure Al Green for having the absolute audacity to yell at the guy shredding the constitution instead of sitting quietly until leaving quietly while wearing a #resist shirt.

      Certainly one of the reasons, but I don’t think it’s the primary one. 'Murica having so many places with a culture that can be summed up as “extremely individualistic and patriotic xenophobes” is what I’d blame first.

        Trump only got 30% of possible voters, it isn’t that MAGA outnumbers sane people

        It’s that a ton of progressives just decided not to vote this year

      I think the primary reason is all of the fascists, but sure neoliberalism and inevitable decline etc

        Well, democrats can change the latter.

        I suppose they tried to change the former by trying to appeal to fascists.
