IMO they're little more than grifters. They co-opted an idea that originated with Clinton supporters, and turned it into a vehicle for their egos and their political sectarianism. They've also tried to monetize it. As far as I can see the problem is entirely with them and not at the level of state and local organizers, but they're still seen as the faces of the movement, and so they're a problem. They have to go.
