The activist base of the Democratic party is lurching left fast enough that everyone should pay attention.
De Leon won a stunning 65 percent of party activists, and Feinstein got just 7 percent.
De León now has the official endorsement of the state party even though he won less than 30 percent of the vote cast for Democrats in the primary.
The irony of being opposed by her own party must weigh on Feinstein.
The left wing of the Democratic party believes that history is on its side and that they can sweep away the party's weak-kneed leadership.
Donald Trump's presidency has created a form of derangement syndrome among Democrats, pushing many of them into positions that may play well with their base but that will be problematic if they become associated with the party in general elections.
Such views detract from Democrats' ability to use Trump as a bogeyman with moderates who will decide which party controls Congress and the White House.
