The DNC found a way to revoke David Hogg’s election to vice chair, despite him winning the nomination.
The Democratic Party establishment won’t endorse Zohran Mamdani, despite him winning the nomination.
And now the Minnesota DFL has found a way to revoke its endorsement of Minneapolis mayoral candidate Omar Fateh, despite him winning the nomination.
Democratic Party insiders keep crapping on its new & young leaders, yet wonders why young people are upset with the party & it has 26% approval😐

in reply to Qasim Rashid, Esq. • • •I wouldn't put Hogg and Mamdani in the same sentence. The first one in 2018 was doing photo ops with Proud Boys, in 2025 using vaguely incel rhetoric, e.g. the Dems' problem is projecting guilt on young white men who want to "get laid." He's a grifter who happened to have a terrible experience when he was young.
Mamdani actually seems to be a leader concerned for *everyone.*
The only thing they have in common is that the Dem establishment hates them, but that's true of most of us.

You're still pegging my bullshit meter, bullshitter, citing bullshit sources.
“What I think happened last election is younger men, they would rather vote for somebody … who they don’t completely agree with — [that] they don’t feel judged by — than somebody who they do agree with that they feel like they have to walk on eggshells around constantly because they’re going to be judged or ostracized or excommunicated,” Hogg said Friday during an appearance on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.”

in reply to Qasim Rashid, Esq. • • •The DNC didn’t “find a way” to remove Hogg. The election was unfair, was successfully challenged, and was re-done. Hogg didn’t even run the second time. Half-truths are just as bad, if not worse, than lies.
Lots of Democrats are endorsing Mamdani. But as I often see with such accusations, the “Democratic Establishment” will be changed to whatever over-the-hill irrelevant politician can be dug up to support that argument.
As for the DFL, it looks like they completely screwed up the voting system by miscounting. Incompetence, not malice, was the cause.
When one actually digs into the details, the anti-Democrat narrative falls apart very quickly.

in reply to SouprMatt • •That the election was "unfair" is just an excuse to dump Hogg--sorry. Without Hogg and his supporters, Dems bury themselves in the past. Hogg's people are the future.

If Hogg was so popular, why didn’t he just run again and win again under the re-done election? Kenyatta ran again and won again.
Radio Free Trumpistan
in reply to SouprMatt • •I refer you to the comment I just posted to someone else about that. The problem with the Dems remains being undemocratic in its governance, and that election itself is the problem. Essential to Dem survivability is BOTH Hogg and Kenyatta being at that governing table. Having just one king of the hill is so Wasserman-Schultzy--and we all see how well THAT worked.

Obviously, like the GOP, the Democrats are too corrupt to be reformed from within.
That’s their choice. So be it.

in reply to Qasim Rashid, Esq. • • •It's because the Democratic Party is just the shiny, elitist flip side of the GOP: people who have held power for far too long and will do everything they must to maintain that hold.
Even if it means finally publicly abandoning the alleged values they've espoused.

in reply to Qasim Rashid, Esq. • • •I think the DNC knows why it is deeply unpopular with young people but it isn’t willing to reinvent itself to gain their approval.
The DNC would rather wait for some opportunity to improve their standing that doesn’t require them to change. They feel pretty confident that opportunity will come under Trump and the more pugnacious he is, the less they will have to work for it.

In order to restore democracy, the peoples decision-making power must be restored. This defines a left-wing government..
The right wing government is the one we have in both parties

in reply to Qasim Rashid, Esq. • • •@etherdiver The Republican-lite strategy has to die with the current geriatric Democratic leadership I think.
It’s almost ironic that the party that used this strategy since the landslide defeat against Reagan, has basically become the party of Reagan.
This really has to stop.

in reply to Qasim Rashid, Esq. • • •Just going to take this opportunity to mention another unabashed working class progressive candidate running for US Senate in Maine to unseat Susan Collins - Graham Platner.
I'm sure the establishment will ignore this guy as well. He doesn't mince words on Gaza and is able to call it what it is, a genocide. Combined with his attitude of building working class power he's got promise.
He gave a great interview on MR yesterday (I've timestamped it here):

in reply to Qasim Rashid, Esq. • • •You folks going off this way about Hogg's situation never mention that the challenge to his election to vice chair came from a progressive Native woman on behalf of herself and two other progressive women.
As a result of the challenge, a relatively young progressive Indian-American woman won a seat.
That this *never* gets mentioned smells real bad.

in reply to fm2279 • •There's no excuse for knocking down the broader youth base whose prime agenda is knocking down the NRA. Indian-Americans have a youth demographic, seems to me, and yes, they deserve a seat at the table but WITHOUT knocking down anybody else also seated at the table. That only perpetuates the discredited Wasserman-Schultz scenario where one king of the hill is, well, king of the hill. That definitely is NOT democratic--not in the slightest.

But that's just crazy talk, it's not like they're making damn sure our only options are candidates who give tax breaks to the wealthy and work with the GOP to expand surveillance and authoritarian capacity in the oval office while refusing to deliver literally anything popular from their platform... Oh wait.
