Many Democrats said party officers shouldn’t take sides in primaries, and Martin proposed requiring party leaders to remain neutral in them. Hogg had pitched a compromise, suggesting an internal “firewall” that would bar him from access to sensitive information in primaries his group, Leaders We Deserve, were involved with. But Martin rejected that deal.

“Party officers have one job: to be fair stewards of a process that invites every Democrat to the table — regardless of personal views or allegiances,” Martin said, urging Hogg to stay neutral.

IMO this is what it’s all about. They can talk about ‘procedure’ and ‘distractions,’ but at the end of the day Hogg has committed to running primary challengers against dead weight Democrats.
