Um, I’d describe Walz and Ellison as trying to win statewide elections? I’m speaking here of politics within the city.
Regardless, that’s missing the forest for the trees. The point is that every electorate has its own divisions and fault lines, and forms its own factions. There is no “Democrats think” or “Democrats do;” there are just a whole bunch of people, forming and breaking coalitions all the time.
