Ball: Why was Katie Porter kicked off the financial services committee?

Porter has been an inspiring and competent firebrand on that committee so far, so why was she let go? This is exactly why leadership in the Party are the ones that have to go. Since that seems nearly impossible, perhaps it's time that progressives give up on the fantasy that the Party can be changed from the inside? To let go of a Party that will never accept them and always deter them? 

"I think that the real thing that this exposes is that so much of what is valued in the Democratic Party is not ideology, is not expertise, is not competence; it's just your willingness to completely have fealty to whatever leadership wants you to. The bottom line is don't rock the boat and you'll succeed. That's how you end up with the very lackluster and uninspiring Party we see before us today" (5:12).
