The Democratic Party of Orange County has finally refused to renew the charter for the Anaheim Democrats club.
The club has been pushing boundaries for some time and, recently, the County Party denied to renew the club’s charter. Sources tell TheLiberalOC the charter renewal documents were submitted well after deadline and the club’s submitted bylaws were insufficient and did not adhere to the DPOC’s bylaws.
There’s been internal debate over this club since witnesses say they saw Vern Nelson, OJ’s publisher, and Mike Robbins, both club officials – passing out copies of a flyer during Anaheim’s State of the City Address earlier this year. The flyer suggested the Anaheim “Mafia” Cabal – which included city officials, the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, and Disneyland executives — were responsible for the murder of former council member Jordan Brandman, whom the flyer called a whistleblower. Nelson issues the club’s announcements on the OJ blog.
The flyer, in the photo above, was sent to me the day of the State of the City address.
(a slight correction here) The DPOC will be informing the club about its reasons for not renewing the Charter; a source for a June letter said communications about demanding Nelson’s resignation was delivered citing Party rules for Democratic Clubs. The Party decision includes the club’s record for supporting non-endorsed candidates for office and allowing non-endorsed candidates from speaking at club meetings
Brandman died in the fall of 2023 of an apparent accidental drug overdose.
The flyer wasn’t the last straw. The application for charter renewal was. The club will be instructed to remove the words “Democrat” and “Democratic” from all signage, social media and web properties. As of today, there are no changes to the club’s website.
The group meets the second Thursday of each month at 7PM at the Unitarian Universalist Church on Harbor Blvd in the city. As a non-chartered club, Anaheim Democrats cannot use “Democrat” or “Democratic Party” for any ongoing activities.
This action should be a wake up for other clubs not following the easy-to-follow guidelines for managing Democratic club activities.
If any of these losers had any money, the should be sued. One can surmise a Disney lawyer earns more in two hours than Diamond did in 2024.
This is just ANOTHER example of these clowns sending flyers to DPOC members featuring vulgar, racist, hurtful content.
Before Eric carries their water by calling me names, perhaps he should ask Diamond and Nelson, why I was allowed to publish dozens of posts when our philosophies aligned, however once I learned who these people really were and later EXPOSED them, they turned on me. While you are at it counselor, maybe you should ask Amy what she thinks about this:

Defend that please.
The DPOC is a joke. It hands out multiple charters in one city and doesn’t follow the endorsement recommendations of its charters. So what does being a local club member mean anyways?? And, the DPOC really has no fundraising infrastructure except their yearly awards banquet that is good for 250k or so. No real money flows into the DPOC. Its like a high school extracurricular activity club with the political infighting included.
CROSSPOSTED FROM THE (NOW DELETED) Comments sectionat your neighbors:
TITO WATCH SAID:
“Thats the first smart thing Diamond has uttered in years! The med’s must have found a balance (weird how the fog of mental illness affects judgement, right CooKoo Bird).
To be sure there are powers that are already working to back up download and republish all the crazy shit Vern and company have said and done. I suspect Nelson under the fog of Vodka is feverishly deleting comments. Luckily, there is a track record that can’t be deleted, including your defense of the indefensible, William Fitzgerald, with Jeanie actually saluting the casket.
To paraphrase Flounder in Animal House: “Oh Boy, this is going to be great”!”
Pretty fitting that the gang that stood by idly and listened to that POS William Fitzgerald spew those HORRIFIC things, are now coming back to haunt them. Let’s see how MRD’s “Jew Fag” or Verns “Ricky Retardo” or Donna’s preferred nickname plays out in the court of pissed off Dem’s. Let’s face it, the shit these guys pull in no small measure is why Dem’s suffer.
Scrubbing social media posts by the Nelson’s, Robbins, Batiste and others connected with the Anaheim “activist” coterie (synonym of cabal) is hilarious.
Even better is Vern’s habit of denying he had anything to do with ANYTHING incriminating (a common alcoholic trait). Worry not, HUNDREDS of implicating posts were downloaded by our team this weekend.
I’ll admit, Vern was correct, one person did defend Jeanie Robbin’s fashion choices as being politically irrelevant to her political positions. Her calling DPOC chair Ada Briceno a “FAT ASS” publicly at an Anaheim City Council Meeting, not withstanding.
Anaheimers say BRING IT ON VERN, MARK, JEANIE, DAVE, KENNETH, MIKE, MARISOL…..Let’s see how this ends for you and the greater good of OC Democrats.
Hey Robbins used to be my cigar vendor at the fair before and even after 9/11. Yeah that one. And Ada is a fat ass and an anti Armenian racist.
The Anaheim Democrats club has been removed from the DPOC web page; sources are telling me they are trying to re-brand as “Anaheim Dems” which would also violate the Democratic Party rules. Eric, I hear they are looking for a lawyer to fight this.
The dpoc isn’t on the cdp web page.
Henry “Paul” Lipton bought METH PIPES from Mike and Jeanie there before Mayor Aitken was elected. The FAIR board stripped “Paradise Cigars” from selling drug paraphernalia on the fair grounds.
I thought Diamond was a lawyer????
Aitken is a prude prune.
she went to Boston College; she isn’t that at all
Dan,
First, you ain’t from these parts.
Second, not only is Aitken a prude prune she endorsed racist liar Farrah khan.
Third, your opinion about anyone in the county is absolutely worthless. You don’t know squat. Zip it. That’s all. Loser.
I’ve been here nearly half my life; Farrah is nor racist, nor is she a liar. I know more than you think, loser
Democratic Party rules?? Umm the dpoc is not a chartered organization of the California Democratic Party. The first amendment allows you to call yourself whatever you’d like. I don’t think the “Democratic Party” cares or has rules against what the Anaheim Dems do. The Democratic Party??? Can the DPOC kick me out of their club? Who cares I’m not a member. Can the Democratic Party? Me thinks not. I didn’t subscribe to any rules when i registered as a democrat.
