Oh, sure we do. If Trump hadn’t come along, I imagine the conflict between the establishment Democrats and the Bernie Sanders-style Democrats would have been the defining political issue of the last few years.
The only reason the Democrats are closing ranks so efficiently is because they don’t want a repeat of 2016. Many blame that loss on us “eating our own” rather than focusing on Trump.
That’s why Biden ended up as the frontrunner, despite nobody really supporting him. The 2020 Democratic campaign relied on Trump providing Democratic turnout. All the Democrats had to do was provide somebody that offended nobody and could stay quiet until everyone voted. Biden was way better at that than any of the other contenders.
You can expect that Democrats will keep doing that in response to Trump-powered movements until either Trump stops being a political power, or they are all in Gitmo and the Great Awakening occurs, whichever comes first.
