I guess the C in DNC stands for Corporation. The corporation doesn't like when underlings call them out on their bullshit

Clearer Reason as to the main issue:
David Hogg Into the Spotlight
Into these discussions has stormed the 25-year-old Hogg, who has positioned himself as the man capable of steering the Democrats back on course using lessons learned from their recent losses.
Hogg has criticized his own party for what he views as an alienating stance toward men, and cited the perceived obsession with cultural issues as a major factor in the Republicans' 2024 victories.
"What I think happened last election is younger men—they would rather vote for somebody who they don't completely agree with, they don't feel judged by, than somebody who they do agree with, that they feel like they have to walk on eggshells around," Hogg said during a recent appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher.
Hogg was again thrust into the center of this internal debate after his election to vice chair was deemed to have violated DNC bylaws which encourage gender parity among the party leadership. DNC member Kalyn Free, who lost to Hogg in February and brought the challenge against his victory, said that the committee improperly tallied votes and failed "to distinguish between gender categories in a meaningful way." In doing so, she argued, it "violated its own charter and bylaws, undermining both fairness and gender diversity."
To some, this seemed like irony—the party voiding Hogg's election based on gender-based requirements, after he had criticized it for an overt focus on gender issues. To Hogg it also sniffed of retribution for his wider attempt to recalibrate the Democrats' focus and party makeup.

The DNC is the primary reason we live under an authoritarian manbaby, Hogg isn't wrong
We can't stand up to Trump, but we can stand up to this kid telling us to do our jobs.
There needs to be an age and income bracket limit for people in government service, these rich geriatric fucks are going to get us all killed.
We can’t stand up to Trump, but we can stand up to this kid telling us to do our jobs.
Holy shit, yes! I'd take it a step further and say "we can't stand up to Trump, but we can stand up to anyone pushing us to be an actual opposition". Ten democrats joined the republicans in voting to censure Al Green for having the absolute audacity to yell at the guy shredding the constitution instead of sitting quietly until leaving quietly while wearing a #resist shirt.
Certainly one of the reasons, but I don't think it's the primary one. 'Murica having so many places with a culture that can be summed up as "extremely individualistic and patriotic xenophobes" is what I'd blame first.
I think the primary reason is all of the fascists, but sure neoliberalism and inevitable decline etc
Well, democrats can change the latter.
I suppose they tried to change the former by trying to appeal to fascists.
This whole situation is best summed up by this. If they were putting this much effort into fighting for the actual working class issues they would have won the previous election... Make of that what you will.
Democrats aren't, and never were, a working class party
