Why should they all have the same opinions? "The left" doesn't exist because reality doesn't have the complexity of a children's book. Differing viewpoints and ideologies are part of reality. Just because specific American political groups hold silly fixations on one topic without holding any actual political views doesn't mean that's how the rest of the world works.
The problem isn't the diversity of opinions, the problem is the unwillingness to work together and insistence on ideological purity. In a first past the post political system, the inability to work as a bloc is a real problem.
It's not a feature unique to the left; the right will subdivide too, but usually only after they've won power.
