Sanders is asking for the party to be changed because, believe it or not, he wants to change the party.
Except that this attempt to oust Malloy and Frank as committee chairs isn't due to strong differences of opinion on policy issues. It's simply because they attacked the Sanders campaign during the primary -- in other words, petty politics. It is what typical politicians do, which is how Sanders looks these days. His campaign was originally laser-focused on economic fairness, but that is now far less true than it once was.
