Told to resign from the vice chair or resign from calling out bad octogenarian DNC members. And then they made the decision for him.
Apparently DNC chair Ken Martin cried to Hogg that his chances of raising money and looking like a leader has been crushed by this, in a leaked call.
Ignoring that this is a projection and example of his leadership.
As a reminder 3 members of the DNC have died over the age of 70 this year already.
Bernie isn’t wrong, so what’s your problem?
So we’re ok with old man in power now? Or only your old man? I think there’s a word for that , starts with an H
I never said I wanted him as president, I just said what he is saying isn’t wrong.
Neither did I. I agree with his views, but I’m consistent, so when I say i don’t want old white men in politics, I mean it. I don’t make exceptions for my guys, that’s hypocritical. I would rather back AOC with Bernie as a top advisor and cabinet member, but not him as the ticket.
The thing is Lemmy has gotten super extreme over the last year, i would say that’s mostly Americans. Where if you criticize someone on your side, people immediately assume you’re the extreme end of the far right, and they berate and insult anyone who even slightly disagrees.
I would love it if AOC had a chance, but I am unfortunately not sure.
Maybe Tim Walz & AOC? I don’t know if Walz is really my best choice, but I also don’t trust America’s centrists to vote for anyone but a greying white guy and if we do have another moderately fair election I don’t want to hand it to the extreme right.
