Suit is just a pretext to get people under oath, no?

It shows the DNC has nothing to hide.

Secretly Taped Audio Reveals Democratic Leadership Pressuring Progressive Candidate to Leave Race

“Yeah, I’m for Crow,” Hoyer explained. “I am for Crow because a judgment was made very early on. I didn’t know Crow. I didn’t participate in the decision. But a decision was made early on by the Colorado delegation,” he said, referencing the three House Democrats elected from Colorado.

“So your position is, a decision was made very early on before voters had a say, and that’s fine because the DCCC knows better than the voters of the 6th Congressional District, and we should line up behind that candidate,” asked Tillemann during the conversation.

“That’s certainly a consequence of our decision,” responded Hoyer.

Not totally sure what people want the DCCC to do - not participate in elections until after the primary? Use resources among all candidates equally?

Sounds like: Don't give money or endorsements - subtle or overt - to any candidate before the primary. Give access to information resources equally to all candidates.

Yeah that doesn't sound like a good strategy

Sounds like a strategy to make it easier for republicans to win. Why can't the DCCC support a candidate they know will work well with the organization? If the voters don't like the candidate vote for someone else, but here's the party going "hey voters, here's a guy who thinks like us and will vote like us, so why don't you try him" and suddenly that's a bad thing =(.

Is "leaking a secretly recorded conversation with a top Democratic leader" your evidence that he'd work well with the organization?

Nah, it's the DCCC having a candidate that they're willing to endorse prior to the primaries where democratic voters will vote for the actual next candidate that leads me to think that.

Can you tell me the purpose of a primary?

[Talint]

There's nothing terribly new in the video other than the candidness.

Like we saw this unfold on the national stage in 2016. Leadership didn't change, and neither did the strategy. Is anyone really surprised by this?

For voters to choose who they want to be their candidate in the general election.

Like, democrats lost 1,000 seats during the Obama presidency, and all leadership challenges were batted away.

Is anybody surprised they're doing the exact same shit? They're getting a blue wave, it's going to be filled with dipshit centrist corporate democrats again, and we're all going to be wondering a generation from now why we can't get Medicare for All Passed as Loe Jieberman doesn't get on board.

Would not winning a primary be the best indicator of a candidate's ability to win in the general election?

[Niiro]

People who vote in primaries tend to over represent the further left or right fringes of the party, so not necessarily.

[Deftscythe]

I'm curious as to what indicators the DCCC has that they believe allow them to predict the outcome of a general election before the primary has begun.
