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.

    they elected him primary leader and then he shat the bed very publicly. Now the party is very publicly breaking with their support for Schumer and using him as a prop for how they’ve changed. (spoiler alert though, they havent changed).

      The problem is that the Party is not really breaking up with him. Individuals are and it’s fracturing the leadership as people realize that the leaders aren’t leaders but just old hands finally getting their due which is unhealthy when we need effort applied.

      They have definitely not changed. Just there is more screaming in horror at their apathy.
