    Nobody in the DNC is interested. I’ve watched every president of my lifetime commit war crimes. I’ve seen bankers rewarded for committing widespread fraud. When people stood up at #Occupy Democrats marginalized and ignored them

    The DNC is not our friend and does NOT care about holding people responsible. They care about the appearance of rule of law

      OK, so don’t work through the DNC. Now there’s only every other possibility in the world.

      Keep an eye on the DNC, we may see some changes soon.

      David Hogg, 25, is the most vocal survivor of the Parkland Massacre, and he is now the vice chair of the DNC. This week he ruffled feathers badly by saying they were going to support progressive candidates who primary old school Democrat incumbents.

      The younger progressives like AOC, Crockett, Frost, Porter, etc. are very vocal, and very active, and they are gathering followers quickly.

      Start by putting a full court press on that spineless, insipid, craven weenie Chuck Schumer, and forcing him to resign both his leadership position AND his Senate seat. He should be run out of office in embarrassing and humiliating fashion, so AOC can take his place.

      The entire Democratic party should unite to expel him. His poor management of the party, their strategy, and their messaging is partially responsible for the rise and dominance of MAGA, along with Biden, Pelosi, Jeffries, and a bunch of others. A few, like Schiff and Raskin, seem to have shifted gears, and are getting with the program, and deserve a second chance, but the rest are too cowardly and lazy to do anything but line their pockets and collaborate with Nazis.

      I’m hoping Hogg will be able to influence the party on a progressive direction, and eventually take over the DNC, and make it a true opposition party, and not just Reoublucan Lite.

      “Nobody” is a very strong word, and simply false

      In any case, it’s not the DNC that’s the barrier here; it’s who is actually elected to office

        That’s the story I was referencing. The DNC is moving against him, proving my point

        I’m not apathetic. I am informed. I know that the Democrats will never curb the abuses or roll back the power grabs. These parties are playing the game together
