This is the funniest summary of the current state of the “professional” DNC. The left needs to quit with the tribalism. I can’t stand David Hogg, but he would have won the Dems some elections.
I did. Hogg's planned on funding challenges to incumbent Dems, so it's the least shocking thing I've read in a while. Sad fact is the Democratic party plays by a different set of rules from Republicans....whether you think that's willful is up to the individual (fun fact: I do).
Generally speaking, liberals will mother**** conservatives & vise versa in the online space or on cable TV, but a lot of these folk are in the same tax bracket & influenced by the same dark money groups (see Kirsten Sinema & Joe Manchin as examples). These people don't really want change; they just want to stay in power to fatten their bottom lines & Trump is the genius idiot who at the very least knows how to leverage voters' ill will towards them. Hogg is someone who's aware enough to at the very least speak to meaningful change, but folks at the DNC know that the change he either hints at or talks about openly would hit their pocketbooks in due time.
You are correct here for sure.
The saddest irony about what you say about Trump being able to leverage voters' ill will towards them is that he does so to get his supporters to vote for him, but then f*cks them even worse. It's almost like they have given up on actually removing the actual problem of corruption in politics, and instead are resigned to be **** on, but at least guaranteed to be able to inflict more pain on groups they hate. And to be more out in the open about their hatred.
It's very much that President Johnson quote we're all familiar with by now. And it's pretty shocking it still works, possibly even better now.
