The DNC cited a procedural concern, but Hogg said it is “impossible to ignore the broader context” of his criticisms.

    2016 primaries were awful. DNC super delegates kept Sanders out, showing the worst aspects of super delegates. Establishment GOP couldn’t keep Trump out, showing the worst aspects of a lack of super delegates.

          Nixon not hanging from a noose caused the split in the timeline. His pardon happened around the time when Bernstein Bearenstein bears happened.

          The first election I ever voted in and I was from South Florida at the time.

          I was one of the votes discarded due to ‘hanging chads’

          Cynicism began early in me

      Nah, that’s probably the only thing I applaud the RNC for. It was very clear that Trump was not their choice, but when their voters spoke, the RNC shrugged and said “alright, let’s party.” Where the DNC endlessly schemes and plots and weasels its way into running the footgun. Democrat voters groan “no, not the footgun again! What the fuck are you doing?!” And the DNC says “look, you don’t understand, it’s the footgun’s turn, they’ve earned it. We just need to compromise and blow our legs off one last time. Now is just not the right time to not blow our legs off. Americans just won’t vote for not blowing our legs off. And, I mean, what are they going to do? Vote for the guy with legs? Lol, lmao. Now hand me that gun.”
