Or, and hear me out, the Democrat establishment don't like having young progressives in charge of things.

I just want establishment dems to come out and tell us what their vision of the future is. You can tell me, "they already have" but if that's the case their messaging sucks or their vision of the future sucks.

or their vision of the future sucks
It's this one

Their answer would be “change nothing really until we’re retired” and “you can make the rules when it’s your turn”. That’s mostly what it boils down to for many of them. The “I’m the one currently benefiting from the status quo so why would I rock the boat” types specifically.
I really don’t expect big changes for another decade because then the demographics will change more for who is in office for the House and Senate. Even then though I’m not optimistic that things will really change for the better until another 10 years after that from looking at how Gen X voted most recently, which was more conservative than the boomers.

"Nothing will fundamentally change."
That's their vision.

They’ll
takedemand our votes, though.

So, the DNC is more concerned about goddamned identity politics than it is about saving democracy from Fascism and improving material conditions for all Americans.
This is why the Democratic Party keeps losing, and rightly so.
Fuck, I hate us almost as much as I hate the GOP.

They don't actually care about identity politics, this is a flimsy pretext to protect corrupt dems who are elected in deep blue territory
-
But remember: If you don’t vote for them you’re a terrible person.

What do you mean 'us'?

Good! The LAST thing we Want as Democrats is ANY sort of Change at ALL! We'll LOSE to a Nazi for a THIRD Time if it means Rich People CONTINUE to Be Rich! Also we KNOW Trump is JUST JOKING about Jailing Us!

Hogg celebrated the defeat of Mary Peltola in Alaska because she disagreed with him on gun control. If anything, he is less committed to fighting Trump than he is bringing the Democratic Party strictly in line with his beliefs.

If only dems were even half as tough on actual fascists as they are on progressives.

Corporate democrats desperate to maintain status quo

When people argue for starting political parties from nothing, this is what I think they're not considering. Political parties - actual, legitimate parties, not cults now - are difficult to manage.
Cults are easy once you have someone they'll all be a sucker to.

What's the L / C/ R meter meant to represent exactly?
-
It's from Ground News. It shows coverage in media across the left/right spectrum.
It allows for easier evaluation whether it is actual news and not something just pushed by one side.In this particular case I'd say it's a reasonable distribution. There are more right wing outlets, and they prefer to push anything that resembles discord in the DNC. Otherwise they'd have to report on their own team and try to sell the actual news from there as a good thing.

How much the story is appearing in Left/Center/Rightwing media

Fucking identity politics. Democrats love that shit more than life itself.
-
Fine, kick Hogg out and let him start his own party. Have him snipe all the angry younger voters who are getting fucked by the other two parties.
-
If Hogg is going to be harping on about gun control in that role as he has in the past then he does need to go. It's a losing issue and he will bring that baggage to sink the rest of the platform. Instead, make everything about protecting rights and freedoms.
