The DNC cited a procedural concern, but Hogg said it is “impossible to ignore the broader context” of his criticisms.

Proving him right, by doing more to stop him from running than they're doing to stop the fascist takeover

Well technically it's true that DNC are following protocol. Even if Hogg wasn't running challengers to his own party and insulting them publicly, the DNC would still probably be holding the party leadership chair special election later this year.

This is one of those things where they're following the letter of the law, but I'm 80% sure that they're only doing so because it suits them.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

It's technically not law because the DNC is a private institution, but it is written down as institution policy, so yes.

They are a corporation. They don't owe anyone dick. They said as much last time they were in court for rat fucking Bernie.

They treat dick cheney better than they treat David Hogg.
