    On the one hand, trying to have a 3rd party right now just splits the vote. But in the other hand, the current Democratic leadership is old people who grift as much as Republicans, but aren’t pushing fascism. It’s a shit show.

    They do that at their own risk. Hogg et all are one of the only good things at the DNC in recent memory

    Can’t have people agitating for change and meaningful opposition, that’d piss off the capitalists that pay all their bribes.

    Leading up to the vote, the credentials committee had appeared torn on what to do. An initial resolution from Christine Pelosi, the daughter of former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, seeking to dismiss the complaint resulted in a tie vote. A second resolution calling for a new election with the same candidates who participated in February was eventually approved.

    Why am I not surprised. Someone corrected me below. I misread.

      Christine Pelosi was trying to dismiss the complaint (i.e., make the elections stick).

        While I generally bag on people with low literacy, I have to accept my own failure on this one. Apologies and thank you. My bias was working overdrive and / or I wasn’t processing all the info.
