No, it’s not because the party is “so diverse”. It’s because the progressive movement is a fundamentalist political insurgency which does not tolerate any form of political diversity, and will not stop until Democratic party has been completely ideologically captured by them in a similar way that the GOP has been captured by their own insurgent movement.
There are only two outcomes in which the Democratic party is united – one where the progressive movement has been marginalized and cast back out to the political fringes, and one where they have total control of the party for a generation.
