8. No. There has always been left and centrist sides within the Democratic Party.

They have always gone at it. I would argue that there have been few times where our party has been as united as it is now. Just look at the last Presidential election. The was no significant third party run on the left. It has actually taken a step back since the eighties. Even Sanders wants to campaign as a Democrat. I also don't see a party split among the right outside of the libertarian candidate getting a percentage or two more of the vote. The Tea Party hi-jacking the Republican Party is where it's at.
