Is there a lack of room in the Democratic Party for dissent and calls for change?
Are they driving conservative/moderate people out?

Yes to both questions.
I quit that party in 99. Granted, I was registered in Hawaii, where the "Radical Extreme Far Right's" most absurd idea was that citizens should be allowed to own guns. Far contrary to mainstream democratic thinking in those parts. Other parts of the country the party might be a bit more liberal in that regard.
As for why Jews tend to vote Democrat:
I grew up in the holy land (AKA Northern NJ) and the vote is split 50/50. Conservative Jews tend to vote for Conservative Candidates, "reformed" (like Christians who belive but don't feel the need to practice all tenants of faith) Jews tend to vote Democrat. I don't know why this is the case.
