1. I think there's an even deeper divide than just in the Democratic party.

People are leaving to go even farther leftward. The Democratic party is a capitalist party, and many people, myself included, have realized that we cannot continue to support that system. I think many of the people who aren't voting know that something is dreadfully wrong, but don't have an option to go elsewhere. When the Democratic party keeps trending rightward (as they are indisputably doing), more and more people will abandon them. It's happening faster than I think most of the party realizes, and it's probably the biggest danger to it. If they don't change tack, and quickly, they may find all their support has disappeared.
