9. Some want to make this sound more principled and idealistic when it's nothing more than your typical power struggle.

Weingarten and Saunders both supported someone other than Ken Martin for DNC chairman. Needless to say, that person lost.

Martin decided to add some new blood to leadership -- isn't that what some people claim they want? -- and it resulted in Weingarten, in particular, losing a seat on a committee she's been on since 2009. He offered to reappoint her to a different committee she's been on -- since 2002... -- but she declined and resigned from the DNC and now claims it's because we aren't working hard enough to win the votes of the working people.

Yeah, that's the ticket!
