13. Thank you for the ACCURATE information. The false narrative that Hogg was "replaced" is self-serving *

* and a disingenuous claim among certain segments who place great importance in denigrating the Democratic party and its procedures/rules.

To the best of my knowledge, Hogg could have run again, right? Didn't he choose to NOT run this time? Maybe he realized that his chances were much more slim than previously and decided to avoid the embarrassment of defeat.

Although he and his supporters are opposed (supposedly) to the "status-quo," the fact that Kenyatta is a gay man should be greeted with open arms and great fanfare from them, no? Personally, it seems to me that Hogg's presence did nothing with regard to diversity.

Based on earlier and ongoing comments that I've read and heard, the false claims of "ohmygerd, it was rigged" seem inevitable. It's a shame when things like that happen because it distracts from the important business at hand.
