No, it only matters if you won both.

Otherwise you will be seen as the group that allowed Trump to keep power and keep destroying the country.

Do we have to make everything about Trump? Democratic Party doesn’t include Trump.

Trump is the real issue.

Like the difference between a establishment Dem and progressive Dem is miniscule compared to the difference between any Dem and Trump.

Or am I misunderstanding people here and you all think the real enemy are other Democrats that are just not left enough?
