The curtain is closing on David Hogg's time as a DNC Vice Chair.

The Democratic National Committee held a virtual vote which concluded on Wednesday, and according to Politico, which obtained the results, vacated the two vice chair positions, Hogg's and one held by Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta. So they will have a new election for those positions next week. 

As Nate Silver observed, the reason for the problem was so incredibly "DNC" - there was a problem with how they conducted the prior vote because of the gender rules. 

Because DNC rules require equal gender representation on its executive committee, not including the party chair, the results of previous elections in February meant the DNC had to elect at least one man to its final two vice chair slots. But instead of holding individual votes for each position, one to be filled by a man and one by a candidate of any gender, the party decided to hold one single vote to decide who took the final two slots.

Then, on top of the furor over Hogg's position going after "ineffective incumbents" with his organization, Leaders We Deserve, he had a phone call with DNC Chair Ken Martin that was leaked. This was hilarious, with Martin whining about how Hogg had destroyed his ability to show the leadership he needed to show. He said he didn't know, "if I want to do this anymore," and "no one knows how the hell I am."  

This is the "leader" of the DNC? People were mocking him for sounding like he was crying. 

Now, both Hogg and the other Vice Chair, Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta, could run again in the new election next week. 

But Hogg said he wouldn't be running again, hitting at the Party's "lack of vision" and not passing the "torch."

"I came into this role to play a positive role in creating the change our party needs. It is clear that there is a fundamental disagreement about the role of a Vice Chair — and it’s okay to have disagreements. What isn’t okay is allowing this to remain our focus when there is so much more we need to be focused on," he said in the statement. 

"Ultimately, I have decided to not run in this upcoming election so the party can focus on what really matters. I need to do this work with Leaders We Deserve, and it is going to remain my number one mission to build the strongest party possible."

The DNC thought putting him in the position would broaden their base and show they were reaching out to young men. 

It seems like all he brought was discord, and they still have that problem with young men. Not only did this reveal more dysfunction, but it may antagonize the folks on the left they were trying to appeal to by bringing him in.
