The essence of this is the usual liberal BS of blaming left. If I believed what these people seem to believe--and I sure don't--I'd focus my efforts on trying to persuade Democratic voters to go for Sanders or some other "progressive" rather than crapping on radicals. I regularly defend Sanders and Warren against media misrepresentations and the lies of the DNC types who prevail there, but I don't put time, energy or money into what I see as a hopeless bid to get the Democratic hierarchy to permit the nomination of such candidates. I see this as being as hopeless as trying to get the Republicans to nominate a socialist in 2020. I don't base this on abstract theories or "dogma" but on half a century of watching Democratic politics and a study of how politics worked before I was here and alert enough to follow it. These people who are so free with their "advice" to--actually accusations against--we pathetic mortals with the audacity to try to learn from experience and observation is equally of waste of time and effort. If they want to win this argument, they should focus their Jedi wisdom on proving us Get the Democratic nomination for a socialist and then we'll talk. Of course, I'm still waiting for them to levitate the Pentagon.
