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

    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.

      his party doesn’t represent their voters anymore.

      I mean, are you seriously arguing that isn’t the case? I’m pretty sure he’s correct.

        No I’m arguing that IS the case. I feel like i was very clear on that, I think you may need to reread what i wrote.
