Not OP, but what I perceive is a conflict between a sort of more technocratic / realpolitik wing of centrists, think Gavin Newsom as the "face" and people like Ezra Klein as the technocrats....
And on the other side, a newly energized wave of Socialists like Zohran Mamdani in NYC, but as opposed to the past decade, less emphasis on the "woke" and more on the "eat the rich"/"Free Luigi".
