No, its not. Its a problem for progressives. But mostly that's because, in the US, progressives are stuck (to have any meaningful impact at all) in a big-tent party with liberals, who actually oppose most progressive policy goals and methods, and align with conservatives in undermining them most of the time, except when they decide to tolerate them to get support for a liberal goal against conservative opposition.
It's a fairly big practical difference between the right-to-further-right coalition in the GOP vs. the center-right-to-center-left coalition in the Democratic Party that the main factional differences in the former coalition are matters of degree and those in the latter are of opposing ideological principles.
