Hogg, a 25-year-old gun control activist, who was elected the DNC’s vice chair, has sparked an intra-party uproar over his announcement that his political group, Leaders We Deserve, would be spending $20 million to challenge “asleep-at-the-wheel” Democrats in deep-blue districts.
“We, as the DNC, need to be seen as a body that can be trusted, that’s not putting its thumb on the scales,” a DNC member told Politico. “We have to be so strategic and careful with our resources right now. … So why are we in this circular firing squad against Democrats?”
What’s wrong with facing a primary challenger? Every politician should have to truly face their base every election. It is the height of entitlement to view primary challenges as something worth bringing a civil suit over.
If Carville thinks the current crop of old guard democratic politicians are doing the right thing, what’s to fear from a primary?
AGREED! WHY would we want Democratic Infighting when Their Strategy of DO LITERALLY NOTHING has been Working TREMENDOUSLY! Just LOOK at your
Stocks!Immigrant Neighbors!LGBT Neighbors!Donations and see that you SHOULD donate to the DNC again!Ha just what I was going to say. Carville wants to help create a schism in the Democratic party? Fine, they already can’t get much less effective as a group anyway.
This guy is the face of centrism. centrism has the face it deserves.
I mean I already thought Hogg was an incredible person, but now that I know Carville hates him, I like him even more.
“We, as the DNC, need to be seen as a body that can be trusted, that’s not putting its thumb on the scales,” a DNC member told Politico. “We have to be so strategic and careful with our resources right now. … So why are we in this circular firing squad against Democrats?”
Which side of the debate is this person trying to support?
If the DNC wants to be seen as trustworthy and not putting its thumb on the scales against its constituents economic interests, then it makes sense to try to repair the broken parts of the party that are largely seen as untrustworthy and favoring the donor class over the people who vote for Democrats.
So why are the corporate Dems shooting their own party in the foot by resisting changes to the failed status-quo?
Money.
Go retire James, nobody cares about you or your dynasty anymore
So why are we in this circular firing squad against Democrats?
Because Hogg is right that you’re ineffective, lazy, speed bumps to actually making progress and winning elections at every level.
Oh and let’s not forget that these fuckers were no where to be heard from when people like Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman were primaried and heavily funded by Democrat organizations associate with leadership.
So why are we in this circular firing squad against Democrats?”
That’s easy, some Democrats have enabled Trump & his fascists. They need to lose their seats to better Democrats.
I never really liked Carville. Didn’t have a reason until now. I feel a little vindicated tbh.
Fuck all these doormat ass Dems that have been sipping on my dime. Fuck em
How can somebody be as incompetent and useless as long as James Carville and still have any kind of credibility?
When did he have credibility? He’s been married to a hard-core conservative for decades, clearly he’s never been offended by their politics. He was just a waterboy for the Clintons, who were nothing more than Republican-Lite.
Time for all those DINOs to hang it up. Weak rhetoric and action from weak-ass weenies like him and Schumer and Biden are the reason that Conservatism has steadily gained traction for decades, as Democrats fell farther and farther behind, until they literally allowed Nazis to overthrow our government. He can STFU, and GTFO.
And Hogg is Vice-chair of the DNC?! This is the first I’ve heard of that! Congratulations to him. He was the biggest fighter after the Parkland massacre, and I’m so glad that he’s not only still in the fight, but has moved into a position of power. Young people like him and Max Frost give me slight hope for the future.
For what, asshole?
You sure sound nervous.
How would Carville even have standing to sue?
It’s a SLAPP suit. It might be thrown out for lack of standing, but it’ll cost Hogg money and time.
I have never heard of this Carville guy, but fuck him. He needs to be thrown out of the democratic party. Let him go play these MAGA style games with the racists.
One of Bill Clinton’s campaign people who largely architected the current unelectable corpodem shitshow
He was the Waterboy for the Republican Lite Clinton administration. He’s been coasting on that one resume entry for 30 years.
Carville represents controlled opposition
Carville’s a senile attack dog who was briefly something in the 80s.
Dude looking like bubbles from trailer park boys in those glasses
