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

    Hogg is just another of the shitbags.

    Yes, he wants to rid the party of useless incumbents, but he’s not trying to get rid of the architects of Democratic failure. He’s trying to replace a select few useless old incumbents with young corporate centrists. He wants us to conflate “young” with “progressive”, while he runs Baby Hillary and Nancy Junior.

    The entire DNC - including Hogg - needs to be flushed

      If Hogg were attempting to further entrench centrist hegemony, party leadership wouldn’t be opposing him.

        The relationship of Hogg to the rest of the DNC is the relationship between Sprite and Starry, while the American public are asking for single malt scotch.

        He’s positioned as the oligarch’s choice for succession. He was groomed for politics by corporate centrists because he’s got a compelling backstory.

        The party leadership opposes him because they see he is going to replace them rather than support them. He’s just another part of the problem.

          And now that he’s pulling a reverse Fetterman, you hate him. Centrists thought they were getting yet another corporate turd like they wanted, but he turned out to actually want to fix things they like broken.
