Sanders? Now that biden’s not running anymore, age is disqualifying again.
AOC? Women suddenly can’t win now that Clinton and Harris are no longer running.
Hogg? Welp, guess we suddenly like Marx and hate gun control. Until he’s no longer a problem.
i agree with hogg that the party needs a reset, but the vice chair of the party should not be the one making that comment because it gives all appearances that the party will be picking and choosing the primary candidates and throwing their weight behind their preferred candidate.
It’s neat how this hasn’t been a concern until just now.
Thus marking the greatest opposition democrats have mustered against anything this year.
Those religious people you refer to are pieces of shit who act like pieces of shit.
Don’t tell me. Tell them. They need to hear it.
Primaries. Where party leadership fought tooth and nail to keep challengers off the ballot and eventually just said “fuck it” and gave us who they wanted anyway.
And now they’re whining about neutrality because David Hogg wants to primary republican-lite incumbents in deep blue seats. “Vote in the primaries! Not like that!”
You make the choice based on the cards you’re dealt, not the ones you wished you have.
You appeal to the electorate you have, not the electorate you think should exist.
Beyond the election though, because you have more time, you try to change the game.
Yeah, we saw how that worked with Biden.
Instead he wants the party to endorse replacements of their own
Oh, if any of Hogg’s people win their primaries, the party will do everything it can to sabotage them in the general. centrists prefer republicans to progressives under all circumstances.
Reforming the DNC is our best shot.
Primarying all the useless centrists is the best way to do that. Which is why democrats are losing their shit over this, but were happy to vote for trump’s continuing resolution a few weeks back.
centrists oppose the left and work with the right.
And 2022. They did ad buys for republican candidates in the primaries and then gleefully announced that they had no money for progressive candidates in the general.
I’m in agreement, honestly, we need to be reducing Republican seats as the singular most important goal. Challenging incumbents isn’t going to do that.
Where were you when AIPAC was buying candidates against Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman? I didn’t see your desire to protect incumbents then.
Funny. The corporate press counted them at the start of 2016 when Clinton needed a boost.
And Hogg is going to help through his PAC anyway.
And he’ll probably be stripped of his position in the DNC for it.
Oh, the primary that gave us Obama was biased as hell. For Clinton.
It wasn’t enough. The party learned, though. Which is why they’ve been moving towards not even having primaries when they can just shove a centrist at us and order us to vote like they want.
The vote records are public
So is the lawsuit in which democrats successfully argued that they didn’t have to hold honest primaries.
Don’t tell us to stop noticing when religious people are shitty. Tell religious people to stop being shitty.
I’m sure that’s why centrists are suddenly freaking out.
Despite the naysaying, isn’t this a good thing? Seems the new chair wants impartiality
Centrists benefited for decades from partiality. Now that someone else is playing their game the same way they’ve been playing it, they decide that they want to be impartial. I have no faith whatsoever in the party’s interpretation of neutrality. It just means partiality in favor of centrists.
Neutrality for thee but not for me. They want neutrality from Hogg, but were delighted with partiality in the opposite direction for decades.
Yeah I would second the view, if it weren’t for decades of the opposite of the DNC bending over backwards for it’s incumbants.
For centrist incumbents. Henry Cuellar gets protection. Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman do not.
If you say so. Honestly, they’ve conditioned me to expect nothing but lies from the religious.
