(2,248 posts)6. I do think it sounds like there was an actual issue with the election, and her complaint should have been
responded to much sooner. All of this would have been avoided.
I understand frustration with the party, but I also see Dems standing up and doing things when they can. I dont really remember the last time we were a complete minority party, and I see members freaking out over things we cant actually change right now.

The optics on this are terrible. It looks like Hogg is a problem let's find a way to get rid of him.

Thank you for that. I saw that elsewhere, but couldn't find a direct post of it.
