In reply to the discussion: Mediaite: James Carville Calls David Hogg a 'Contemptible Little Twerp' and Suggests DNC Sue Him [View all]LetMyPeopleVote
(180,658 posts)67. Member of the DNC should NOT be taking sides in primaries
I know that county and state parties are generally prohibited from getting involved in primary contests and that all of the members of the DNC other than Mr. Hogg have signed a pledge not to get involved in primaries. If Mr. Hogg wants to do this, he should resign from the DNC

DNC Chair Ken Martin said in a statement that Hogg is a passionate advocate and we are grateful for his service to the Democratic Party, whether it be in his role as a DNC Vice Chair or in an outside capacity.
In order to ensure we are as effective as possible at electing Democrats to office, it is the DNCs longstanding position that primary voters not the national party determine their Democratic candidates for the general election, Martin continued.
All DNC officers have been asked to avoid activities in their party or personal capacity that would raise questions about their impartiality, but Hogg was the one DNC leader who did not sign the neutrality policy.

OP
Hogg may or may not be wrong, but Carville calling him "a contemptible little twerp"

"He" meaning Hogg, or Carville? Obviously both have the right to their opinions.

I no longer have much respect for Cuomo or Carville. OTOH, while Hogg's efforts are ill-timed, they are justified..

Maybe old men stuck in the late 1990's should move aside for people more in tune with the 2020's.

Shouldn't it be "MEN" or "PEOPLE" stuck in the late 1990's should move aside for people more in tune with the 2020's?

At least David Hogg is trying to do something. Don't care for Carville or Cuomo

Yes, and she has not, to my knowledge, spoken out like the former Republicans at the Lincoln Project

Hogg and all other Dems must turn on the Trump regime, not on each other. Just what Trump regime wants.

Someone demands his opinion be respected as he reduces the civil rights of trans people to "pronoun politics".

He is a Democrat, whether I agree with him or not he has a right to say what he thinks.

Says the man who wants to call playing dead while Trump destroys the country a political strategy.

Carvikle should know better to error on the side of unity. Hogg's drive isn't going to be effective

Some of them may have been part of the problem in 2016. Not anymore. We're in a VERY different reality.
