I keep hearing how the new DNC Chair (whose name I only hear when people are telling me this) is doing things differently now and this is going to stop.

OK new DNC Chair whose name is in the news so rarely I can never remember it, it hardly seems like there could be a more fertile opportunity to stop working against progressives, so any day now.

Didn't they just run David Hogg out of the DNC?

Somebody recently argued to me that his election was "fraudulent". Interesting way to put it.

They went to court and successfully argued that they don't have to follow their own rules.

They selectively care about the rules when it suits them.

Like how any excuse stopped them from enacting their campaign promises, but the Leahy law was completely meaningless when they wanted to keep selling weapons for the genocide they wanted.

It did violate the DNC's own election rules, yes. The candidates were paired on the ballots in a way that disadvantaged female representation.

It did violate the DNC’s own election rules, yes.

The unwritten one: "no one to the left of netanyahu"
