I'm no David Hogg fan, but DNC Chair Ken Martin’s words got me wondering if the "everything has been feminized" bros aren't onto something. Grow a pair.
In language only a Groups attorney could love, Section II(c)(5) of the "Rules of Procedure for the Election of DNC Officers":
"In the election of the three remaining Vice Chairpersons, provision will be made to elect the appropriate number of persons of each gender to ensure that, with the exception of the National Chairperson and the President of the Association of State Democratic Committees (“ASDC”), the officers shall be as equally divided as practicable according to gender in accordance with Article 3, Section 1(e) of the Charter. In the case of gender non-binary candidates and Officers, they shall not be counted as either a male or female, and the remainder of the Officer positions shall be equally divided. At the discretion of the Chair, voting for each Vice Chairperson position will be conducted one at a time among all candidates of the appropriate gender."
Fan, no fan. Doesn't matter. What's really happening is breaking things. The GOP lead the way, the Dems may as well catch up. It appears that the consensus has emerged that stagnation is more dangerous than chaos, and that all those status quos have to go. Do I think Hogg would make a crackerjack Senator? I have no idea. But he's the young guy out front saying shit nobody in the power structure wants to hear, as they coddle Schumer and his "very strongly-worded letters". The collapse is happening, Hogg just wants to rip the Band-Aid fast rather than slow.
Well said George. Hogg is right. The status quo has not and is not working. Died in the wool felon lovers will never abandon him because they share his bigotry and nativism. The Dems have to bring in new people who will develop dialogs with people by asking what it is they want or feel a need for. It sounds simple but it has to be tried.
What did I miss? I thought that the conclusion of the David Hogg Affair was that his election was being challenged and that he'd end up doing his own thing as a former Vice Chair. No?
I don't know when that meeting happened, but a grown man in a position of leadership saying out loud that he doesn't know if he wants the position and isn't able to lead because of a guy in his 20s, who is or at least was in a subordinate position, is weak AF.

Maybe. Or maybe he has hit upon a message that raises money from blue voters in safe districts but doesn’t actually win elections in contested ones.

Martin should stop his whining and enlist Hogg to help create a new message. The old one sure as hell is not working.
