DNC internal chaos - top two fighting still

[Always in His Presence]

David Hogg tried pitching a compromise to the DNC. He was rebuffed.​

David Hogg, the Democratic National Committee official who ignited a firestorm inside the party with his pledge to fund primary challenges to “asleep-at-the-wheel” Democrats, privately pitched a compromise to the party head in recent days.​

​

Speaking with DNC Chair Ken Martin, Hogg proposed a so-called internal firewall in which he would stay on as vice chair but be barred from accessing any internal DNC information about congressional and state legislative races as long as he was supporting challengers, according to three people familiar with their conversations and granted anonymity to describe them.​

​

Martin shot down the idea, the people said, expressing confidence that he would win the votes at the DNC to pass a rule requiring party officials to remain neutral in primaries — essentially forcing Hogg to drop his primary project or step down.​

DNC chair doubles down on his ultimatum for Hogg​

Democratic National Convention Chair Ken Martin on Saturday doubled down on his ultimatum for rogue Vice Chair David Hogg: Take a neutrality pledge or step down.​

​

“Party officers have one job: to be fair stewards of a process that invites every Democrat to the table — regardless of personal views or allegiances,” Martin said.​

​

After weeks of infighting about how the hobbled party should move forward, Martin laid out his longstanding vision on Saturday in a post on X and called out Hogg, who caused an uproar last month after he told POLITICO that he would fund Democratic primaries for “ineffective, asleep-at-the-wheel” Democrats.​

DNC Moves To Void David Hogg’s Election To Party Vice Chair On Technicality

Following the credentials committee’s decision that the vice chair election had not followed proper parliamentary procedures, it will bring the vote to the DNC’s full body of members to decide whether or not to call a new election for Hogg’s vice chair seat and another DNC vice chair, Malcolm Kenyatta. The credentials committee’s ruling comes after Kalyn Free, a Native American attorney whom Hogg defeated in February to win his role as a vice chair, challenged the results of the election, claiming she lost a “fatally flawed election that violated the DNC Charter and discriminated against three women of color candidates,” as Semafor first reported.​

​

“Today, the DNC took its first steps to remove me from my position as Vice Chair At-Large,” Hogg wrote in a statement. “While this vote was based on how the DNC conducted its officers’ elections, which I had nothing to do with, it is also impossible to ignore the broader context of my work to reform the party which loomed large over this vote.”​

​

“Our country is in crisis, and too many leaders in the Democratic Party are asleep at the wheel,” Hogg wrote further. “Trump is on a mission to crash our economy, disappear people without due process, and participate in flagrant public corruption – and voters still trust him more than Democrats. That is a massive indictment of our party.”​

I never thought David Hoggs brought much to the table. They should have never put him in that position. His main issue is gun issues. Gun issues need new laws. But it's not enough for an un-experience person to be in charge.

I dunno, I think Hogg has some good ideas here. If incumbent Democrats are, in fact, "asleep at the wheel," perhaps encouraging challengers to those positions with new blood, and new ideas, isn't really all that bad an idea. Certainly, the party could use some new ideas, Bernie and AOC can't do all the work. And yeah, I get that challenges to an incumbent can come with risks, especially if the seat is lost to a Republican candidate, but sometimes, you need to shake things up to get things done. And one thing the Democrats haven't been especially good at lately is getting things done. This may be a way to change that.

I never thought David Hoggs brought much to the table. They should have never put him in that position. His main issue is gun issues. Gun issues need new laws. But it's not enough for an un-experience person to be in charge.

Gun issues don't seem to be at the forefront of this particular issue, at least so far as I've heard. It seems to me, the issue is that Hogg wants to challenge incumbent Democrats who hold seats in Congress but don't do much with them. That's not an insignificant problem, and just maintaining the status quo isn't going to help Democrats in the future. We truly do not need more 80 year old candidates going forward (Bernie notwithstanding).

I agree, though, that we do need new gun laws, and much better enforcement of the ones we got. But that seems a different issue.

A2SG, Bernie truly is the exception that proves the rule.....

DNC infighting threatens to throw party into ‘chaos’​

Infighting at the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is threatening to consume Democratic leadership just as the midterms are starting to kick into gear.

The tensions come after a DNC panel moved forward this week with the potential ouster of two elected officials, including gun control activist David Hogg.

Now officials find themselves in a war of words over the issues at play, with Hogg alleging the move is a sign of party insiders seeking to force him out over his calls for supporting primary challengers to certain incumbents.
