Anyone framing the Democratic schism as "left vs right" should be discarded as either uninformed or disingenuous (which is what Politico's attempt to blame "the left" is).
The key divide is between those who want to fight back forcefully - and those who cannot imagine anything but accommodation.

I'd describe myself as centrist. I'm definitely pretty moderate and no leftist. If AOC primaries Schumer in 2028 I will happily donate to her. I don't agree with her on every issue but she understands when you can compromise and when you can't and she fights.
It’s exactly what they’d like us to be doing — fighting each other instead of them.

Alternately, he's in leadership and just isn't willing to knife Schumer in the front.
Our leaders, on the other hand, wave the White Flag. That is definitely not winning.
He just handed Trump his dictatorship and fascist government
