The Democratic Party is fighting for its life in California.

The Chairman of the California Democratic Party, Rusty Hicks, who sounds like he should be a Red State transplant or should go back to Tennessee; a labor union leader in a state overburdened by labor dominance, an establishment figure; who won a close contest against a black female who had complained about voter fraud among the California Democratic Party delegates; who irritates the progressive faction of Democratic grassroots in the state of California; who has as much personality as Mitt Romney in a deep-freeze, is facing a factional crisis like never before.

Lots of major Democratic candidates have filed to take Gavin Newsom’s place. Since dollar- store Patrick Bateman, California Psycho, and all, wants to be the next President, hand gestures and gaslighting included, He’s not helping anyone down-ticket because—God Forbid—he should piss off any one constituency or grievance group in the country.

Rusty Hicks recently pleaded with the wide array of Democratic gubernatorial candidates to consider dropping out to ensure that two Republicans didn’t snap up the Top Two spots in the jungle primary this June. If you don’t have a chance, he claimed, you should drop out so that we don’t risk two Republicans in the Top Two.

Since the epic Trump-shellacking of 2024, the Democratic Party has faced a considerable crisis of leadership. Kamala Harris is polling #1 for the 2028 nomination, but it’s a piddling 38 percent. A wide array of candidates—gay, Hispanic, Asian, femboy, East Coast, West Coast, podcast, Israel haters, etc.—think they have a better chance of capturing the nomination nod and leading the Democratic Party to purer, more progressive pastures.

That fight is playing out right now in California, the most Democratic of Democratic states in the union.

When Rusty whined for the wide array of single-digit polling candidates........
