The episode opened with Schulz introducing Sanders as having been “mocked, sidelined, and betrayed—and that’s just by his own party,”

Well that's the thing, the Democrats aren't "his own party". Sanders is totally OK with being an Independent right up until it comes time to run for President.

The DNC saw/see him as an outsider, not a Democrat, which is also a fair statement.

That doesn't make his statement incorrect. They view him as an outsider because both the Democrats and Republicans are right wing parties and he isn't right wing.

the dems are center right, and the republicans are far right.

Calling all dems right wing is a stretch. There are more left candidates and members, see AOC. But yeah, the dems are mostly a centrist/right party now.

Compared to the political spectrum in other countries, all dems are 110% right of center.

I'd argue that it doesn't really matter if some elected members hold leftist views because they're ignored and pushed to the side by the rest of the party at every turn.
