The culture war is a non-issue because California allows two members of the same party to win the nomination and challenge each other in the general election. There was 15% voter turnout for the 2012 primary in which Feinstein (49.5%) and Emken (12.7%) were nominated. In other words Emken got on the ballot to challenge Feinstein with only 1.9% of voter support. To run a successful campaign to challenge incumbent Democrats with pro-liberty Democrats in the general, you possibly only need to get ~ 2% voter turnout for your candidates. This is pretty feasible to do if California residents actually cared. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_election_in_California,_2012 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_election_...
