Are the "Bernie wing" and "Clinton wing" of the Democratic Party real things?

Of course not. If they are, this was the first time the two faced off, and do not yet warrant generalizability.

And, more importantly, the LAST time (unless Clinton faces Sanders in the 2020 primaries).  Clinton voters were tons of totally different types of people, as were Sanders voters.

By which I meant it was the first time that the two coalitions (not candidates) were diametrically opposed in a primary fight. It remains to be seen if this configuration will persist for the long term.

And I don't think it will.  The only way it would "persist" is if Clinton's "wing" and Sanders' "wing" really had strong disagreements over the issues, and they don't.  I predict a relatively scattered field in 2020, TBH.

There has always been a fight between liberals and leftists.

This implies all of Clinton's voters shared her ideology exactly, as did Sanders' his.  That's clearly false.
