DNC boots David Hogg and another vice chair from their roles

17. I don't understand this line

who vented that Hogg’s role as a party leader conflicted with the decision to take on incumbents.

This sentence encapsulates why some people balk about the DNC at times, including our young Mr. Hogg.

Now I perfectly understand that the mission of the DNC is Democratic majorities but that is a very different mission than rubber-stamping incumbents which that line would clearly imply to the average listener. We can't say we need a different approach then punish people for taking a new approach. My only rub with what he did is that as a DNC vice-chair he should not be publicly directing or orchestrating a non-DNC PAC to do anything.
What we should be doing is fielding the best candidates for the job.
Sitting back and running on autopilot while recycling the old guard is not going to cut it anymore.
I can hear the pushback already. I'm not saying all old members of Congress or incumbents are bad. I am saying that being an incumbent should never be an automatic golden ticket to DNC endorsement/support.
