These headlines from the site the OP referred to, they are not liberal, or even moderate stories. They are pure R/W, and very Trumpish:

The first story in the link below discusses how "people of color are the real racists"

The second story is a Sanders hit piece saying that Sanders is an abusive employer

The third story is a Hillary hit piece saying "finally Hillary might get what she deserves", implying that Trump could be the savior

and the bullshit goes on and on, and it doesn't stop there. In the sidebar, they have all kinds of garbage, from racist articles to bogus stories

That site is no liberal or even moderate viewpoints. It is pure ragged right wing trash

Hillary really betrayed Andrea Mitchell... The entire context of this report was of a solemn nature... A Funeral so to speak...

Andrea Mitchell "I do not see this report as ...ANYTHING BUT... DEVASTATING!"

Chuck Todd "After this I don't think that she could get confirmed for Attorney General!"

Lots of FIBBING by Hillary here.. for more than a year!

Without question there are serious problems and weaknesses with the Clinton campaign. Clinton carries a lot of historic baggage including her ties to Wall Street, hawkishness on foreign policy, etc. It is so obviously unseemly and tone deaf to accept such large “speaking” fees from Wall Street. But we know this already.

In addition, there are the new low-level red-baiting attacks coming from Democratic National Committee and Clinton surrogates.

But this doesn’t reflect everything. On all the major democratic issues and demands, i.e. collective bargaining rights, racial and gender equity, climate change, immigration reform, etc., Clinton is on the right side.

On the other hand, among some of Sanders’s supporters there is a “Bernie or Bust” mentality. They have declared they will sit out the elections if Clinton is the nominee. This is not the dominant trend but it’s a problem among those who see the Sanders campaign as a way to bash the Democratic Party.

Sanders doesn’t share this view and has handled the efforts to turn him against Hillary very well. Sanders also appreciates the right danger and will be part of the anti-right coalition even if he loses, as will President Obama. This is important because there are pressures on us to abandon our balanced strategic approach.

wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Party_USA#Presidential_tickets

So its sorta of true, the chairman of the party thought
Hillary had a better chance than Sanders beating the GOP. But in his letter he really didn't support either in the primary race.. He is extremely wishy washy.

You can read his letter to 'the faithful' here

http://www.cpusa.org/article/taking-a-sober-look-at-the-2016-election/


However thie CPUSA party is considered a joke, irrelevant and corrupted not just nationally with other socialists organizations but internationally too with leftist, socialist organizations and communist organizations which win elections and have major support.

Bernie Sanders isn’t the kindly old curmudgeon he makes himself out to be say former employees.

According to some who have worked closely with Sanders over the years, “grumpy grandpa” doesn’t even begin to describe it. They characterize the senator as rude, short-tempered and, occasionally, downright hostile.
