It is binary to view politics as simply a tension of left v. right - which is the tendency of most analysts. Viewing it under the lens of multiple factions vying for the heart of the party infers multiple perspectives *within* each partisan banner - which creates a spectrum of political views that are defined as "Left".

This primary was very much about progressive policies/platforms (Sanders/Warren) against the eventual moderate consolidation of power within the old guard of the party.

Pointing that out isn't being "binary" - it's just observing the tensions within the party.
