On the one hand, trying to have a 3rd party right now just splits the vote. But in the other hand, the current Democratic leadership is old people who grift as much as Republicans, but aren't pushing fascism. It's a shit show.
They do that at their own risk. Hogg et all are one of the only good things at the DNC in recent memory

Leading up to the vote, the credentials committee had appeared torn on what to do.

While I generally bag on people with low literacy, I have to accept my own failure on this one. Apologies and thank you. My bias was working overdrive and / or I wasn't processing all the info.

Done.
