Time to get out the “Dems in disarray” headlines again, because if you believe some reports, national Democrats are all in a tizzy over a proposal by progressive activist David Hogg to primary “out-of-touch, ineffective House Democrats,” at least those who are in solidly blue districts that aren’t likely to give Republicans any chances to pick up any seats.

The alleged internecine fracas and affray arises from what many in the party leadership consider a conflict between Hogg’s call, as leader of the group “Leaders We Deserve,” for new, more progressivey blood in the party, and Hogg’s other role as vice chair of the Democratic National Committee, which is officially neutral when it comes to presidential primaries, and sorta tacitly neutral in primaries for congressional races, although that isn’t an official rule at the moment.

Hogg was only elected DNC vice chair three months ago, and the heartburn among some people going around in Democratic circles is likely to fuel a vote to change the bylaws to require DNC officers be neutral on all primaries. A final vote could come at a party meeting in August, which could be followed by an offer from the Hoggbothered that the young activist can’t refuse.

Thursday morning, new DNC chair Ken Martin rebuked Hogg during a media call, saying

“Let me be unequivocal: No DNC officer should ever attempt to influence the outcome of a primary election, whether on behalf of an incumbent or a challenger. […] Voters should decide who our primary nominees are, not DNC leadership. Our role is to serve as stewards of a fair, open and trusted process, not to tilt the scales.”
