Looks like progressives took over the leadership of Nevada Democratic state party, which since 2016 might have been the most successful Democratic state party in the whole country.
The old guard around Harry Reid promises to fight on separately

Moderates in the party can be just as obstructive to party unity as they claim progressives are, apparently

The most successful state Democratic party is arguably Hawaii, although NV Dems are best at winning narrowly.

Mulled it over a bit. After getting over the conflict and seeing past the Twitter takes, I welcome the competition with the Reid machine. It's not like "centrists in Nevada are actively antagonizing or stifling the Biden agenda, and I highly doubt they'll pull support in the general like the establishment did in Nebraska. I think a healthy dialogue will produce a healthier party and will challenge the left to produce their own powerful structure.

I don't see this different from me not identifying as a Democrat anymore but working to support the Democratic agenda.

Really goes to show how disingenuous the party's "vote blue no matter who" messaging is.

While this will probably have no impact, it baffles me that a state so closely divided where the Dems have done so well so consistently in recent years would change gears like this. It would be like the FL GOP electing Roy Moore as their state chair. Sure it probably won’t matter because nobody cares who state chair is...but why risk it?

Maybe part of he reason you're confused is you seem to have a hard time understanding the moral difference between pedophilia and advocating for popular economic policies that would benefit poor people

Maybe part of the reason nobody likes progressives is because most of them are massive holier-than-thou assholes.

Let them squawk. The nature of organizing and money in the state still effectively benefits the state party in such a fracture. When they were united in purpose, there was no discerning about the differences, but now...

From years of involvement in my own state, let's just say that big (itemized) donors and ladder-climbers care more about getting their photos taken, invited to dinners and name-dropped than they do about anything else. The state party can facilitate that; some rando conglomeration of IEs affiliated with a barely living corpse and staffed by out-of-state autists cannot. Nobody gives a damn about attending a Lincoln Project fundraiser or whatever its Nevada state-equivalent would be in this situation.

The state party simply needs to blacklist any and all people involved with this mass departure, as well as any IEs or orgs that hire any of these individuals. If it flows to most or all IEs in the state, then so be it. The big donors will retain loyalty to the party above all else, and thanks to Harry Reid's unilateral control for so long, the state party certainly has up-to-date, top-of-the-line voter data to carry on without any worries whatsoever. Do this and nobody will remember the names of these out-of-state crybabies and losers in six months' time.

Yeah that's why I'm not worried about any of this. If the Reid machine people are so f-ing politically brilliant, why are they reacting to their disempowerment with a temper tantrum? It's really bad press and bad politics for them, essentially career suicide and to what end exactly? 

The smart ones will apologize and come around later anyway. The name of the game is power, and you don't have anything if you ain't got none.

There is GOP precedent, Kelli Ward is the chair off the Arizona GOP for instance. State party chair is the position the crazies run for when they lose Senate or gov primaries.
