Democratic Official Plots to Take Down Party Incumbents
“Less than three months after the young political activist David Hogg was elected as a vice chair of the Democratic National Committee, he is undertaking a new project that is sure to rankle some fellow Democrats: spending millions of dollars to oust Democratic members of Congress in primary elections next year,” the New York Times reports.

This could get interesting.  The DNC made a radical leftist a senior member of the committee and he's doing radical leftist stuff.  And he's promoting the same radical leftist ideas that have been overwhelming rejected by the voting public.  I wonder if this will finally cause the Dems to start re-evaluating their priorities and shed some of their kookier policies.  Of course, the DUmmies don't get that this news (along with all the other bad news they've gotten lately) does not bode well for the Democratic Party as a whole.  The way things are going we may see a serious schism in the party that leads to the Dems becoming more centrist and the radicals being kicked to the curb.  But some of them are excited to see the party eat their own:

2. Progressive Democrats

Always face this from “Moderate” aka corporate Democrats. If your constituents like you, they will re-elect you.

39. Wanted: Loud people (frequent yelling required) to replace Democrats quietly doing their jobs. No experience necessary.

LOL.  Someone has figured out that banging on drums and yelling into megaphones doesn't actually accomplish anything other than annoy people who may actually agree with you.

It'll be interesting to see who he has his sights set on.  Pelosi, Schumer, maybe Fetterman?

     I'm more amused with whom this little moron plans to put in their place, and how on earth he thinks that'll turn Dem prospects around.

There’s a whole list of people that need to go Pelosi Schumer, mad Maxine and all the other ones that have made politics their lifelong job. It would be nice if they would get rid of Omar Presley, AOC and some of the other radical ones especially the Islamic ones.

[Rebel]

I fully support the DNC's shift to the radical, far left. 

[Old n Grumpy]

I can’t believe they put that guy Hogg in a position to where he’s able to make changes. He’s only a kid he’s got no experience. He just knows how to run his mouth. The problem with the Democrats is nobody has a plan just go back to doing the same old thing nothing pissing away our tax dollars and stuffing as much as they can in their pockets. They don’t understand Americans have had way too much of that. Hopefully, they’ll never be in power again.

Hogg boy will go down with the democrat ship.

The question is when.

[SVPete]

So, the Dem Party is supporting the primarying of Congress members who don't toe Progs' 20%-er line?

I am glad to see one young experienced, and super smart democrat leader following my advice of going harder, quicker, and further to the left.

[ADsOutburst]

If democrats are good at anything, it's wasting money and pushing bad candidates.

Hogg boy will go down with the democrat ship.

The question is when.

I'm hoping it's as slowly and painfully as possible.

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

Oh.

[DefiantSix]

Oh.

Oh my.

Tell me you're planning a Night of the Long Knives for the geriatric dead weight in your party without telling me you're leading the Night of the Long Knives... 

I love me some blue on blue violence...

USAID: David Hogg’s gun control group had a drastic collapse in donations via ActBlue immediately following Trump’s closure of USAID. As a result, March for Our Lives has had to layoff almost all of its staff.

DU advertises for ActBlue, which received donations from both of Trump's would-be assassins.

[SVPete]

Is ActBlue the outfit under investigation for massive straw-donor campaign funding fraud?

That be them...

Jasmine Crockett's association with Act Blue is supposedly getting her some undesired attention at the moment...

While it could turn out to be more and worse, right now it sounds like her campaign accepted ActBlue $$$$ not knowing it was from phony donors. If Crockett's campaign was merely clueless, they might just be fined for being monumentally careless.

Ms. Crochett: I am shocked that ActBlue donations were straw and phony donors. SHOCKED.

ActBlue money washer: Here are your washed straw and phony donor ActBlue donations Ms. Crochett.

So little Davy boy is worried about his Democratic party members trying to tell lies and destroy his reputation. Oh my doesn’t he realize his party is full of liars and those who will do anything to hold onto their positions of money and power? I’ll roll over him like a steamroller.

Little Davey is gonna learn that politics there’s no place for a little candy ass like him

James Carville says he might sue ‘contemptible little twerp’ David Hogg for challenging incumbent Democrats

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/james-carville-says-he-might-sue-contemptible-little-twerp-david-hogg-for-challenging-incumbent-democrats/ar-AA1D7eYF

James Carville railed against Democratic National Committee official David Hogg for funding primary challenges against incumbent Democrats, suggesting on Wednesday night that he “might” sue Hogg over the effort while calling the Parkland shooting surivor a “contemptible little twerp.”

Carville’s comments come after he called for progressives to distance themselves from the Democratic Party, calling for a “split” due to what the veteran Democratic strategist called “pronoun politics.”

Hogg, a 25-year-old gun control activist who was elected the DNC’s vice chair, has sparked an intra-party uproar over his announcement that his political group, Leaders We Deserve, would be spending $20 million to challenge “asleep-at-the-wheel” Democrats in deep-blue districts.

Much as I agree with Car-Vile's assessment of Hogg-Boy, I don't think Car-Vile has standing or a valid cause of action. But if the Dems burn $$$$ in an internecine strife bonfire, I'm good with that.

[Old n Grumpy]

I hope they do try to take down the incombents and run some unelectable people in their place so that we could pick up their seats
