57. It sounds like a Sore Losers' Shadow Convention, honestly.

Their behavior in this regard really serves no good purpose other than to create divisions in an attempt to peel-away supporters, or to discourage people from voting for the Democrat. They have no meaningful strength or influence or vision in their own right, so instead they settle on being saboteurs. They tried-out to be the starting-string for the home-team, but others were chosen instead. So rather than proudly wearing the home team uniform of the Democrats... rather than continuing to support the team and work to improve... they show that they answer ONLY to their vanity and egos. They are the worst kind of sore losers. For some reason, they are now feeling compelled to take their ball and glove and go home... AND START THEIR OWN TEAM! Stomping their feet, shaking their fists, and shouting every four-letter curse word they can think of as they depart the playing field. The thing is, their new team will be weak, ripe for ridicule, of no meaningful influence. Their "players" will have even LESS influence than they would have if they'd just swallowed their pride and continued on with the home team.
