A Democratic National Committee subcommittee on Monday recommended that the organization invalidate one of its February vice-chair votes over claims that it unfairly disadvantaged female candidates.
The move, which won’t be official unless the entire DNC votes to approve it, could open up new races for the positions held by David Hogg, a Florida activist, and Malcolm Kenyatta, a Pennsylvania state legislator.
The challenge by Oklahoma Democratic Committeewoman Kalyn Free, who unsuccessfully ran against Hogg and Kenyatta in the February race for vice chair, is not related to the ongoing tension between Hogg and the national party over his push to support primary challenges against incumbent Democrats.
Instead, it was based off Free’s claim that the handling of the vice-chair vote gave the two men an unfair advantage amid the national party’s requirements that its executive committee achieve gender balance.
Well, Sanders is suddenly too old (again) because we no longer have to pretend biden is lucid.
And AOC can’t run because a woman suddenly can’t win, which will be the case until we find some centrist corpodem woman to run again.
Their excuse for Hogg has been that they suddenly like school shootings now that a gun control advocate wants to primary the corpo/genocide wing.
Maybe removing the mask will help push more young people further left. 20 years ago if you’d told me the DNC was just a mouthpiece for weakly resisting whatever the Republicans wanted to do I would have called you crazy. Now, every day it’s becoming more clear that the Dems actually DO want the corpo fascist state the Republicans are so desperately trying to build. They just have to pretend not to.
Maybe we have a house of Fettermens.
