California Democratic chair race angers 'Berniecrats'

California Democrats narrowly selected longtime party insider Eric Bauman to be the leader of the largest state Democratic Party, angering and frustrating supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders who threw their support behind an insurgent challenger.

The hotly contested race reflected the deep divisions within the Democratic Party, which despite a universal commitment to fighting President Donald Trump has not fully healed from last year’s contentious presidential primary between Sanders and Hillary Clinton.

For many Sanders supporters, emotions are still raw following what they feel was an unfair nomination contest and Saturday’s California election felt like a repeat.

Corruption doesn't bother the Bern so much these days ... in fact, he's gotten along real good with the Rat establishment ever since he got that new house ...

The Sanders folks are trying to fight billionaire insiders.

They need to learn to obey their masters. :-)

The Bernie wing of the party is target locked on things that guarantee keeping the party out of the mainstream. They will be a constant drain on the party resources. The Democrats have only one choice, force them out or adopt 100% of an unwinnable position. The first attempt to force them out was rigging the election so Bernie failed. I suspect that the Democrats will finally agree to adopt 100% of the Berniecrat positions. At that point the adults (assuming there are any) will leave the party and either retire or join the Republicans. Then, they will become our own version of Berniecrats; always insisting on a more leftwards slant.

Bernie’s folks have used the DNC for $85 million and it is moving through the court system. It’s not getting much coverage. It will be huge.
