That appears to be the playbook for at least one of major parties right now. I can't say as I would attribute it to the Democratic party, given how much they have acquiesced to the demands of the top.
If we're talking about people left-of-center, then yeah I would say that that political ideology suffers from a strain of ideological Purity that is neither productive, nor beneficial to the cause.
The strain the right-of-center folk have is literally their ideology.
Either you believe what we believe, or you're not a Real American/Coastal Elite/Snowflake/etc.
I think it does bear repeating I am not a member of the Democratic Party, for a multitude of reasons. I'm not a member of the Republican party for the simple reason that their platform has planks that would render me a second class citizen.
