The truth behind the article is that the their self-administered divisiveness has created a problem; they can't possibly elect a leader to pacify all of the different groups they've encouraged to become angry victims.
Two assumptions in this article struck me. These seem to be "truths" in the progressive perspective:
"Black lawmakers and candidates, furious about President Trump’s caustic racial politics and attacks on African-Americans, say they are determined to claim a greater role in steering their party."
"Some black Americans — unconvinced that Clinton and her vice-presidential pick, Sen. Tim Kaine, D.-Virginia, would be the best stewards to carry on Barack Obama’s vision of a more inclusive America — stayed home on Election Day, despite pleas from the president and other prominent black Americans."
I'm not aware of any Trump attacks on African-Americans, or indications of his "caustic racial politics."
Nor am I aware of anything Obama did to create a "more inclusive America."
Did I miss these things? Maybe I'm using the wrong news sources. But it's obvious that this author takes them for granted.
I think it likely that there will be civil war within the Dem party, with POCs versus white women versus trannies of all types.
I see them losing what they have left of the white working class.
“The truth behind the article is that the their self-administered divisiveness has created a problem; they can’t possibly elect a leader to pacify all of the different groups they’ve encouraged to become angry victims.”
And in that process they are aliening their two largest voting blocks, the blue collar worker and Black citizens.

No, those things are fake news. The made-up talking points that people just get tired or refuting every time they are mentioned. It’s like when Hillary says “Everybody knows Republicans are racists.”
Many of us "missed those things;" it's kind of like the "Russian influence" thing...the media just asserts it, and expects everyone to go along with it. If you peel back the layers, there's no substance to the claim, only sketchy allegations.
