Liberals in California defend the neo liberal economic policies of Reagan that cause the hyper capitalist society that disregards human life. The progressives demand the return to new deal policies of post WW2 era that created the great middle class only this time we want it applied to all not just the whites!
In USA it's not just liberals vs conservatives. Progressives like Bernie Sanders are actively getting chased out by corporate owned liberals. Hope this gives you some insights into why the Democrat party in USA is splintered.
Liberals are not who they say they are, they are part of the problem and use the 2 party system to force people to vote for them when they are just Republican lite (unless they are progressives like Bernie, Mamdani, or AOC)
