Meanwhile Republicans can dissolve the Department of Education with a bare majority in both houses...

Yeah the Republicans are basically one mind. I think I remember hearing about Karl Rove back in the day going around to Republicans that didn't follow that they would take them out if they didn't toe the party line. I think it's only gotten worse since then with only the sycophants left.

Dems are different. Like there's no reason Bernie and AOC would be in the same party of Pelosi and Schumer but they are. This leads to compromises being necessary on the democratic party. Also, the voters for the Dems are just as diverse as no one ever seems happy with them either.

Maybe Dems should clean house

If you mean the progressive arm of the democratic party, then yes :)

I wanted to say the old people need to go but Bernie is old and I don't want him going anywhere.
