Just over a year ago, David Hogg, then the newly-minted vice chair of the Democratic National Committee, found himself unceremoniously pushed out after he called on the party to back primary challengers to unseat members of a moribund establishment.

    The DNC should not be a king maker for sure. But pointing out inconsistencies or irregularities is a particular candidates stances with some national policy seems ok I guess. We all aren’t gonna agree on everything so a very specific national policy seems like a bad idea as well. But in the end the people should be defining what they want the party to be not the other way around.
