21. No, Dems are getting Sanders' support.
Although I agree with the rest of your assesment. Dems have abdicated their roles as leaders AND representatives through their policy of "triangulation"-- defining oneself in relation to another party.

Democrats would never work to elect an avowed socialist like Sanders. The "Big Tent" only extends rightward when it comes to economics.
