The DNC cited a procedural concern, but Hogg said it is “impossible to ignore the broader context” of his criticisms.

People will never learn if they can't make it to the second paragraph:

As a result of a challenge from Kalyn Free, a losing candidate in the election, the committee decided that the election was not conducted properly and that it violated the DNC’s gender parity rules. If the full body of the DNC rules the same way, it will force Hogg and fellow Vice Chair Malcolm Kenyatta to run for election again later this year.

The old DNC ran a ahitty vice election that broke its own rules.

The current DNC decided via comitte the best way to handle it was to redo the vote. Which is not a big deal for the DNC.

Like, what would you prefer the current DNC do in this scenario?

I mean it's clearly just a pretext. We don't have to pretend to believe their bullshit reasoning.

Bro the Dallas Mavs had a 1.8% chance to win the draft last night.

1.8%.

I’d cut my own dick off if it can be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that the draft wasn’t fixed in some way.

Same smell of bullshit here.

And the chosen pope had an 0.3% chance. Some times, things with a chance of happening, happen.
