As to your last paragraph, there is always a division between factions. It was there during the 1960s and is still there in 2017. How much discussion is allowable before motivation is questioned is an interesting point.

One example is that there are pacifists who are Democrats and there is the just war faction. In the 1960s, the anti-war faction fought with the Johnson faction that pushed for a widening of the war.

Which side represents the real Democratic Party, or do both?
