The DNC’s Latest Feud Is an Exercise in Futility

Because the political press was covered last week New exposures About the degree of physical and cognitive decline of the former President Joe Biden, the Democratic Party moved with self -criticism to strengthen the conditions that allowed Biden to shy away from Trump’s second term. On the eve of the 2024 election debal, it would seem that party leaders who have been holding the idea of ​​accepting a new set of election appeals; As a result, members of the Democratic National Committee voted in February for the appointment of a couple of young activists, David Hoga and Malcolm Kenyata, and the deputy chairmen. The 25-year-old survived firing at the 2018 Parkland School school, called on the Democrats to recruit young candidates and revise many party positions to change its acceleration among young white people and other voters with low sensitivity; Kenya, 34-year-old African-American state legislator from Pennsylvania, also seemed to embody a welcome youth movement in the Democratic Party in a desperate need for rebooting.

But the democrats of the Democrats with the youth reform lasted all three months or approximately one of Trump’s tariffs. DNC voted on May 12 to deprive Hoga and Kenya, citing allegedly violating the parliamentary protocol. Kalin Freight, a 61-year-old vice-chairman, filed a complaint, claiming that, unifying two questions against the committee members in one voice, voting for Hogg and Kenyat, who passed aside, on gender diversity. In voting for the support of Free – the voice in February – The DNC created the basis for new elections for Hogg and Kenyatta seats.

It would be doubtful that this procedural disassembly would have occurred at all if Hogg did not announce the intention of the primary democratic leaders with the younger competitors through his political actions committee, the leaders we deserve. The idea that one of the youth officials of DNA was determined to make the young candidates oriented the place in safe blue areas for the confidence of the party-and this certainly did not help because Hogg, a relentless self-registration, used their elections to the party commission for their Pac. DNC Chairman Ken Martin, who had previously tried to admire economic populists in the party with praise for “good billionaires“Claimed that Hoga’s plan had compromised his position as an impartial party official; if the DNC sub -legal acts seemed not to support this statement, he passed to change them Make Hoga to take on neutrality. In other words: Democratic leaders have tried one procedural commitment to the other, so that the status of Hogg and its criticism.

The most disappointing departure from the current battle of the leadership, except for the conflict of generations, is that after the decade, the initiatives aimed at Donald Trump with procedure and legal complaints have failed, the Democrats remain devastatingly committed to the same form of the process in control of the internal party business. Instead of interacting with Hoga’s plan, it is essentially not a clear-martin and his lieutenants seeking evidence of violation of the rules to justify the procedure provided. As some critics celebratedThis reflex, combined with a call to enhanced gender capital at the management level, is hardly designed to play the right -wing liberal liberality at the time of the political crisis. It is also a disorderly look for a party that performed and omertà Calling the obvious inappropriateness of Biden to the second term of pain of professional isolation.

Equally damn is the closest analogue of this model of power distribution and decision -making in American institutional life: Woebegone Groves of Academe. As the recovery of the former graduate student married a professor, I watched the DNC showdown with a painful sense of recognition. He demonstrated the same patronage, passive aggressive noise for maximum symbolic authority and isolation from conflicts you usually face in the departmental hire, or vote for approval by force.

Democratic Allk Elite He is a professor equipped with the state sector management, and he has long dictated the agenda of the Neoliberal Democrats policy: from trade policy to allegiance to the Silicone Valley to the privatized school reform. Since the 1990s, the leadership anointed by Democrat, the leadership has managed a steady retreat from socio-democratic policy, while rejecting the holders and skeptics as retrograde merchants, fanaticism and worse. President Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, as well as Hillary Clinton and Kamala’s candidacy. All of them caused the honorary loyalty to the dictates of market realism, while deciphering uninformed “anger” and “resentment” of opponents for power. In order to distance themselves from the “division policy”, leaders usually refer to a gas, managerial vision of higher American unity. In its 2018 campaign memory, What happenedHillary Clinton posted this picture in a language that can be easily inserted into the Kennedy-Albo educational school is intonation with the lecture davos:

One of the most important but least recognized facts in American politics is that Republicans tend to win in places where more people are pessimistic or uncertain in the future, while Democrats usually win where people are more optimistic. These sentiments do not carefully monitor the exceeded dichotomy between the coast and the heart. There are many prosperous communities both in blue and red states, which came up with how to teach their labor, use their talents and participate in the twenty -first century economy. And some of the most popular Americans from the death and socks-wealthy white and pensioners-prize are very viewers of Fox News-while many poor immigrants, people color and young people burn energy, ambition and optimism.

Even more concisely, Clinton perfectly reproached the angry economic program Bernie Sanders with incredibly fastened rhetorical requestThe party leaders and cheerful leaders are widely welcomed: “If we break up big banks tomorrow … Do you end the sexism? Does this racism end?” It was also an academic liberalism dressed as fierce political realism. Neither Sanders nor any other assumed that the banking reform would reach such utopian social goals, but Riposte Clinton broke the agenda of academic policy to an increasingly corporate university stage.

Now that Trump administration focuses on all US universities, and in particular Meeking miscalculating– This is a long time when the Democratic Party acknowledged that his turn to the professor was a bust. The crisis, which is repeated by the Democrat, is largely related to its own restraint on the inequality of class and economic redistribution-and their commitment to the symbolic cultural policy of the academy. Obviously, for the election position of the Democrats, or to the brutal gerontocratic composition of the party, there is no rapid correction of a single cabbage-question, which affected Hogg’s return response to DNC. But a good starting point would be to stop launching DNC as a university.
