It is about the progressive ethos vs the pragmatic ethos.
At the surface both movements most certainly have admirable ideals.
Unfortunately, the progressives see the pragmatics as caving in to the corporate powers that attracted the attention of the DLC in the wayback (as in the late 1980s)
Progressives aren't into compromising pragmatics. Period. This single thing makes it very, very difficult to reconcile the left and right wings of DU and of the Democratic Party in general.
Thanks for your concern. We all appreciate it. We just have no capacity to deal with reconciliation.
