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

    I would not consider myself a far leftie, more of a left of center kind of guy, but I have found Hogg’s vivacity refreshing. The old guard should squirm, considering they shat the bed last go-round, and may even have lost us the country.

    There are plenty of Bernie Trumpers out there, that feel this country has ignored them. And they’re right in the kinds of nooks and crannies where we need to win.

      Hogg is more of a centrist as well, his only sin was threatening the power of party leadership. As far as I know he’s pretty much in the middle of the party when it comes to policy issues.

    Sure are a lot of no-avatar .world accounts in here advocating against uniting against Trump and the GOP 🤔

      Because that supposes there are only two sides and there must be a winner and a loser. Partisanship is what separates it all and the DNC supporting Hillary is what got trump elected in the first place.

      Trump has been a Democrat my entire life. He is just an old rich white man which most associate with the GOP. Because all politicians are corrupt and part of the same evil system

      I suspect a lot of people don’t use avatars because they aren’t even visible on the app they use to access Lemmy. I don’t think Voyager has them on by default. Maybe I just turned them off a long time ago. Regardless, I don’t think a lack of avatar signals what you think it signals.

    If they KEEP Hogg then they MIGHT have to Try a New Plan BESIDES Letting Americans Suffer Under Trump with LITERALLY NO PUSHBACK WHATSOEVER!

    This whole situation is best summed up by this. If they were putting this much effort into fighting for the actual working class issues they would have won the previous election… Make of that what you will.

    [Indeed, Hogg’s PAC, Leaders We Deserve, recently announced an initiative to fund young primary challengers in Democratic races.]

    Hey that is pretty cool. We need lots more people like Hogg and AOC and Sanders.

    Clearer Reason as to the main issue:

    David Hogg Into the Spotlight

    Into these discussions has stormed the 25-year-old Hogg, who has positioned himself as the man capable of steering the Democrats back on course using lessons learned from their recent losses.

    Hogg has criticized his own party for what he views as an alienating stance toward men, and cited the perceived obsession with cultural issues as a major factor in the Republicans’ 2024 victories.

    “What I think happened last election is younger men—they would rather vote for somebody who they don’t completely agree with, they don’t feel judged by, than somebody who they do agree with, that they feel like they have to walk on eggshells around,” Hogg said during a recent appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher.

    Hogg was again thrust into the center of this internal debate after his election to vice chair was deemed to have violated DNC bylaws which encourage gender parity among the party leadership. DNC member Kalyn Free, who lost to Hogg in February and brought the challenge against his victory, said that the committee improperly tallied votes and failed “to distinguish between gender categories in a meaningful way.” In doing so, she argued, it “violated its own charter and bylaws, undermining both fairness and gender diversity.”

    To some, this seemed like irony—the party voiding Hogg’s election based on gender-based requirements, after he had criticized it for an overt focus on gender issues. To Hogg it also sniffed of retribution for his wider attempt to recalibrate the Democrats’ focus and party makeup.

    They’re not “ousting” anyone, and the process was put into motion months ago before he made any comments about primary challenges.

    You can literally just ask the other guy effected by this.

    What had happened was the prior DNC didn’t follow its own election rules for the vice chair races. Imone of the candidates who lost challenged it, and a committee ruled that the fair way to handle it was redo the election, but this time follow the rules.

    The DNC chair is encouraging both the winners, and anyone else who wants to run, to run.

    Like, if you know what’s happening, there’s not a better way to clean up the mistakes of the last DNC chair.

    But the reason the media wants people to hate the DNC, is the people who own the media don’t own the DNC anymore

    Jenkins, did you hear that young master Hogg expects us to actually help the Plebs?! Egads, didn’t anyone explain to him that that’s a bit? Jenkins, I need you to get in the private jet and pay Schumer a visit-- no, Jenkins, thirty minutes is much too far to drive-- and also pass along this stock tip. We need to catch this Hogg before the Plebs start getting ideas, like expecting us to work, ha ha.

    DNC Moves to Oust David Hogg After He Says Party Isn’t Standing Up to Trump

    This title feels like a bit of a gaslight considering hes being ousted for saying his party doesn’t represent their voters anymore. While not standing up to trump is part of it, its a smaller issue than the truth that the dems stopped giving a shit about their voters long ago.

    God it must be so easy to be a republican, just blame everything on immigrants and do whatever you want to them, simultaneously not pissing off your rich owners, and making your dipshit voting base happy. Its a win-win scenario where only the country loses.

      He’s actually being made to run for party leadership chair position later this year because of a challenger submitting that they broke party policy, which is true.

        The party that successfully argued in court that they don’t have to follow their own policy suddenly become sticklers when they’re not boosting a clinton.

          Which is why I will always say the DNC is what gave America Trump and people who voted and supported them when they were backing. Hillary are more complicit than the people who voted for Trump, because you don’t expect the voters to have any intelligence.

      First, they came for all the motherfucking politicans. Then they came for the lobbyists, then the CEOs and billionaires and the propagandists and the corrupt judges. And if they haven’t been beheaded yet, they had peace happily ever after!

    I admire Hogg for trying to change things from the inside, as it were, but the DNC is definitely complicit in our current slide into authoritarianism. Until they wake up and embrace the progressive movement championed by Bernie and AOC, I have little hope for the mainstream democratic party
