Democratic National Committee vice chair David Hogg’s plan to spend $20 million to primary older Democratic incumbents in Congress has sparked intense anger from some lawmakers.

    We’re not doing another 2016

    We can have leftist leadership or admit we want a fascist dictatorship.

    The DNC have had over 50 years to choose to force their rich doners to make concessions. They’ve shown they aren’t interested.

    The Neoliberals don’t get to be in charge anymore.

      They’re literally not tho…

      Like, the battles were fought, the war was won…

      You just don’t seem to be politically engaged enough to have noticed.

        So in your view, the current makeup of democratic leadership, representatives and senators is what “fixed” should look like?

          democratic leadership, representatives and senators

          The DNC is the party…

          The DNC is saying we need to primary those elected politicians because they no longer reflect the values of the Dem voter base.

          The neoliberals are no longer running the party (which again, is the DNC)

          But I applaud you for asking when you weren’t sure

          You’re blaming the people elected to DNC leadership of February 2025 for things done in November of 2024 and earlier…

          Why?

            Why am i blaming a party that is totally incapable of representing their voters?

            Because this is supposed to be a democracy?
