We know why the DNC does this. They are beholden to corporate donors and big money people (AIPAC). They are the part of the “two wings of the same bird” political landscape.

This is exactly why they need to clean house from the top down and get rid of all those who refuse to let the party evolve.

Obvious rage bait is obvious. Fuck off OP, we’re not buying it, we know that the real problem is the fascist in the White House.

Just keep doing what you’re doing and it will give rise to a 3rd party 🫡

Our elections are like a kickball game, and the DNC always gets to be team captain, and they only ever pick all their friends, who are all the shittiest players.

A party is who you vote for. So stop voting for octogenarian old dudes and vote in the people you actually want. NYC and Minneapolis can do it, then so can the rest of us. Schumer would have no power if we vote out the douchebags that keep him as the senate majority leader. let’s start getting rid of these fake Democrats and vote in people who actually matter. Also those who are not 70+

The Democratic party is pathetic, has no backbone and like the Republicans are unwilling to criticize Israel.

Yeah, this is bullshit misinformation. Hogg had to run in an internal election again due to a procedural mistake, and *chose* not to run a second time.
I didn’t leave the party; the party abandoned me. To be fair it was under Clinton but I had been wavering for a while watching the direction the DNC/ party apparatchik was headed.
David Hogg’s big issue was gun control, which is a non starter with most federal elections. And he was looking to primary candidates in safe seats. Plus, another progressive candidate challenged the election results on rules violations, and Hogg stepped aside.
And who cares if the establishment endorses Mamdani? All I hear is people complaining about these people anyway, why would you want their endorsement?

But calling them controlled opposition is conspiratorial.
Looking at the list of members over 70 __running for congress__:
– Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), 86
– Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), 82
– John Garamendi (D-Calif.), 80
– Doris Matsui (D-Calif.), 80
– Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.), 80
– Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas), 78
– Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio), 78
– Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), 77
– Al Green (D-Texas), 77
– Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), 77
– Reps. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), 77
– Kweisi Mfume (D-Md.), 76
– Richard Neal (D-Mass.), 76
– Lois Frankel (D-Fla.), 76
– Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.), 75
– Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio), 75
__Between the lines:__.
David Scott (D-Ga.), 79, who was ousted as the Agriculture Committee ranking member last year over __concerns about his health, is running__
So is Rep. Dwight Evans (D-Pa.), 70, who __suffered a stroke last May__ that forced him to miss House votes the rest of the year.
Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.), 76, who __froze up during a House floor speech in February due to a partial seizure__, “does intend to run for reelection,” his spokesperson said.
__Zoom in:__
__declined to say what she will do in 2026__
– Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), 85
– Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), 85
– Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.), 82
– Alma Adams (D-N.C.), 78
__decide in “maybe a month”__
– Rep. Danny Davis (D-Ill.), 83
– Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.), 80, is also undecided.
> Now look at some of their home states, specifically those who voted republican – a very brief view of potential seats that could vote the same as the presidential election.
– Ohio 2
– Florida 2
– Pennsylvania 1
– Texas 2
– Georgia 1
– Mississippi 1
If Democrats are to lose 9 seats overall(not looking at house v senate) the power shift no matter what is significant.
If that’s not clear enough for why there needs to be a massive effort to force retirement, well let’s think about these elderly people running for congress from the perspective of gen-z.
If their family would be having a kid every 18 years, seeing that is very probable, we would have great and great great grandparents

At this point the progressives being outed from the party need to make their own group. It’s clear the DNC would rather die than give up their loyalties to their bribes.

It has only gotten worse in recent years.
The DFL incident is unfortunate, but the vote had issues, and the convention was so dysfunctional that it earned the party a two year probation. https://minnesotareformer.com/2025/08/22/dems-in-disarray-dfl-revocation-of-fateh-endorsement-polarizes-party/
