I'm not really clear on what the rules are at the DNC that caused a re-vote to occur, following the election of David Hogg as Vice-Chair, and Malcolm Kenyatta. Should I be suspicious that, because of his strong opinion that some Democrats are asleep at the wheel when it comes to resisting and opposing Trump's ineffective, incompetent and anti-Democratic leadership, and he's threatening some of the status-quo establishment, they are pulling power strings to orchestrate this move and get him out? Or should I just take this for what it is, and consider that a sleepy, moribund, ineffective organization like the DNC is just a political relic, and be glad that Hogg is no longer tied down by his role as one of its vice-chairs, but is now free to pursue raising money to help Democrrats awaken from their slumber and do their damn job?

I'll go with the latter option.

As a loyal Democrat, raised in a Union home, and voting straight ticket for almost my entire life, I believe making regular contributions, as much as I possibly can, is part of what helps candidates get elected. I give as much as I can, being careful to try to direct those gifts as effectively as possible. I mainly support our Presidential candidates, the Senate candidate in my state and the Congressional candidate in my district, along with making a small gift to the DNC's Congressional election fund, and occasionally, finding a candidate from another state whose election is strategic and critical to the party's ability to be effective.

I'm getting up in years, and headed toward eventual reduction and living on a smaller fixed income. So I give now while I can. The effectiveness of that gift is important to me. And so, with this news today, I have decided that the small amount I've been sharing with the DNC will now go to Leaders We Deserve. I got the message loud and clear, the DNC is committed to protecting an ineffective status quo that is asleep at the wheel, and has earned a lower job approval rating in Congress than either the Republicans or Trump.

And you can't win elections like that.

1. Yes, indeed..

"he's threatening some of the status-quo establishment..." and someone who is feeling threatened is not having any. What is the smell of democracy?

2. After seeing that Dems in Congress are voting to applaud ICE

Im mad as hell and the DNC is on my shit list...

So I'll agree with you on the latter as well.

I am stunned by the inaction and acquiescence...😒🤬

3. Just what the Dems need, more purity testing.

4. Has Hogg stated that he is not running for Vice Chair in the new election?

6. I believe he did say that, yes.

So what?

5. Whatever is going on or not going on is a big fat ZERO
