    The incoming DNC chair publically told Hogg that him getting elected on a pro getting rid of useless and protected incumbents with people who give a shit, pumping real money into grassroots campaigns for popular candidates even if they are in a district that has been controlled be a democratic necromantic corpse, was the worst things that have ever happened to him.

    He made it super emotional and clear that just Hogg coming out and saying those things, being very critical of the loss, was already ruining his tenure, so he arranged to use the full power and funding of his new office against amother duly elected member.

    Rather than continue that kind of waste and understanding how unpopular his platform still was in the mainstream DNC, Hogg chose to bow out. Props to him for the decision. After Ken Martin has been humiliated over and over again.

    I remember really a hilarious article a couple months ago, lemme see if I can find it.

      Well, he obviously didn’t say that one giant rant of a sentence…

      And no quote in the article is even close to it…

      What are you even talking about?

      Rather than continue that kind of waste and understanding how unpopular his platform still was in the mainstream DNC, Hogg chose to bow out.

      So, he realized the people that just elected him, would elect him again?

      Why the fuck did they elect him and Martin together?

      Think about that logically.

      Edit:

      Seriously…

      If Hogg legitimately thought the fix was in, and that the equal opportunity rules Jamie Harrison violated were just an excuse…

      Why not run again to show that?

      The only logical explanation is Hogg never wanted to win, he wanted to lose and start his own party.

      Except he won.

      And if he took the two seconds to sign his name on the re election form, he’d be a vice chair right now. Instead of whatever the fuck he’s doing

        He started another organization and continues to speak about gun violence. I think you’ll see that ducking out of the DNC when he did was a smart move, and David Martin’s choice to be a big ol baby about Hogg’s message was the first of a calamity of errors that has led to the entire organization being be-clowned.

        Do you not remember:

        “I’ll be very honest with you, for the first time in my 100 days on this job … the other night I said to myself for the first time, I don’t know if I wanna do this anymore,” -Ken Martin.

        What a bitch!

        Oh I see why you were confused, the article I posted is about how bad Martin has been for his tenure, he’s an article about how much of bitch Martin was about Hogg.

        https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/08/martin-hogg-call-private-meeting-00393517

        Ben Martin being a huge bitch about David Hogg.

          Your problem with him is he cares enough to doubt himself and lose sleep?

          What a bitch!

          Seriously…

          You’re throwing out trump level insults, and your main point against Marrin, is he cares…

          A month before the midterms…

            I mean he shoulda dropped out so much earlier, but Dems are gonna KILL in the midterms despite the DNC, not because of it. My point is Martin is a terrible leader who makes bad, emotional decisions. His first bad, emotional decision was attempting to oust Hogg. Thankfully Hogg bowed out and didn’t let Martin waste DNC money trying to do it.

            Much like post covid, people will be crawling through glass to vote against Trump in the next 2 elections. Hopefully the DNC and Dems won’t take it as the last time people ever vote for Republicans, like when we elected Biden.
