As we mentioned earlier, the extremely self-righteous Party of Democracy nullified its entire (rigged) presidential primary election last year, setting fire to millions of votes because the Party's lies about the incumbent's physical and mental fitness had inconveniently spiraled into oblivion, forcing a mid-race change of horses. That same party currently appears to be in the process of voiding another one of its elections, which seems to be emerging as a go-to move. Extreme activist and accused grifter David Hogg has predictably become a giant migraine headache for Democrats after they foolishly voted to make him Vice Chairman of the DNC. That institution is now looking at redoing their leadership election based on a technicality that is quite on-brand for Democrats -- and not just the part of undoing an election result that's politically inconvenient.
The trouble, you see, is that they appear to have violated one of their own DEI rules in the process of electing Hogg, and a DEI candidate is therefore challenging the whole process:
The credentials committee of the Democratic National Committee voted on Monday to void the results of the internal party vote that made David Hogg a party vice chair, ruling that the election had not followed proper parliamentary procedures. The decision — which came after roughly three hours of internal debate and one tie vote — will put the issue before the full body of the Democratic National Committee. It must decide whether to force Mr. Hogg and a second vice chair, Malcolm Kenyatta, to run again in another election later this year. Mr. Hogg, 25, an outspoken survivor of the 2018 school shooting in Parkland, Fla., has prompted a fierce backlash over his plans to spend up to $20 million through another organization he heads, Leaders We Deserve, on primary campaigns against incumbent Democrats.
Ken Martin, the party chairman, has said it is inappropriate for Mr. Hogg to intervene in primaries while serving as a party official, and has recommended changing the party’s bylaws to force him to sign a neutrality pledge. The ruling by the credentials committee on Monday was not technically related to Mr. Hogg’s plans to engage in primaries. Instead, it was the result of a complaint from Kalyn Free, one of the losing candidates in the vice chair race. Ms. Free said the party had wrongly combined two separate questions into a single vote, putting at a disadvantage the female candidates because of the party’s gender-parity rules.
Ah, they reportedly ran afoul of the party's "gender-parity rules." How fun:
It is so DNC to remove David Hogg not for the good reason (he sucks and is bad for the party) and instead for a bullshit reason (a claim that his election violated diversity rules, even though it didn’t actually violate them) https://t.co/1b6yuydgA8

Democrats are fighting about this the only way they know how -- through weaponized identity politics:
This is not about David Hogg. It was about our rules that were violated. He can run again for his position. This challenge was filed by a strong Native American woman weeks before Hogg announced he would violate the neutrality pledge of officers not engaging in D on D primaries.

A "strong Native American woman" objects to the election? Well, that changes everything. But come to think of it, though, why is the Party of Women run by a group of dudes? Problematic! Having ridden the woke wave for years, Hogg's position may now be threatened by woke internal policies, which is delicious unto itself. More delicious is that Hogg is angrily fighting back, deepening his war with the party in which he's -- for now -- a high-ranking official. It's a giant victimhood olympics, and he's unable to directly fight the DEI point, but he's sure as hell going to stake out his claim to some cherished victimhood:
New: DNC panel opens the door to removing David Hogg from his national post
— Andrew Howard (@andrewjfhoward) May 13, 2025
The panel says it’s because of procedural issues from February, but Hogg says it’s “impossible to ignore the broader context of my work to reform the party.” https://t.co/hggeQTnWq8
This posturing is long gone, of course:
I’m one of the most politically toxic people in the country and I’m too radical for American politics. No, I’m not running for office.

We have enough straight white men in power. It’d be nice to see some people who actually look like our country and not privilege.
"We have enough straight white men in power," he said, 'except for meeeeee,' he's now adding. Beautiful. By the way, the other elected official who's caught up in this doesn't seem to happy with Hogg, either. There truly isn't enough popcorn to go around:
In a statement, Mr. Hogg acknowledged the decision was made on procedural grounds but said that “it is also impossible to ignore the broader context of my work to reform the party, which loomed large over this vote. “The D.N.C. has pledged to remove me, and this vote has provided an avenue to fast-track that effort,” he added...Mr. Kenyatta expressed frustration on social media — both with the committee’s decision and all the attention on Mr. Hogg, noting that he had won 298 votes to 214.5 for Mr. Hogg. He called the decision “a slap in my face,” and said the process was not about Mr. Hogg “even though he clearly wants it to be.”
One big happy family. Tangentially relatedly, I'll leave you with my conversation with a female legislator whom the Party of Democracy and Women has stripped of speaking and voting rights over her aggressive defense of female-only sports and spaces:
