The wings of the Dem Party are splitting because there is no strong leadership at the core holding them together.

Different candidates are always going to push for the priorities that best reflect their very different districts. But the complete failure of the Dem leadership to bring the party together and present a coherent platform and strategy is a serious case of political malpractice. That the old guard has so fiercely defends their positions with no attempt at grooming the next generation of leaders or focusing on the future of the nation, is a abject failure of leadership.

Somebody, ANYBODY, needs to step up and start herding the cats.
