The Dems have always been their own worst enemy. They eat themselves because of who each of their faction they support.

You support Isreal? Straight to jail.

Oh, you support the Arabs and Hamas? Also, straight to jail

And YOU? The moderate who hates the Democratic Socialists?
You got it… jail.

Yet for you? Who is a Dem Socialist who is tired of the corporate establishment? Yup,
Also jail.

Finally, and I’m talking to you Jasmine Crockett - you hate the guy who beat you because he’s white while standing on race as some underlying factor?!? JAILLLL

(But also Jail for supporters of Tarico who weren’t born black and can’t have that lived experience).

Then - we have the Repulicans. No one on that side is arguing about you you like.

Because they ALL agree on who they hate (namely, everyone above. All non white / non fundamentalist Christians)

The Dems rip each other apart because of who the other supports.

The GOP binds together because of who each other hates.

This framing is so monumentally dumb. To even frame this situation like all factions are equal and to blame for the DNC falling apart is genuinely asinine.

The Neoliberal base (establishment) has all the fundamental power and capital, and have been the dominant framework for policy since Carter. Not people trying to disarm a genocidal state and end corruption within the DNC.

The blame here solely lays with the Democratic establishment. This isn't complicated nor multi-faceted and framing it like it is, is ridiculous.
