Democrats must be careful in how they work with Sanders and make sure they recognize they stick together, based on so many shared values. The Democrats won't go the extremes that Sanders is prepared to go, but their values are much more closely aligned than the Republicans and their corporatist masters. If they can maintain that belief as the foundation for moving forward, all will be fine. If they allow for extremes to be the division, then Sanders can do a lot of damage.
The dems have corporatist masters as well, they just don't come with the fascist, racist, religious, homophobic baggage that the republicans do. Neither the dems or the republicans seem to give two squirts of piss about the vanishing middle class, the slowly drowning working class or especially the poor. That's why Sanders and people like him pose a huge threat. It's only gonna get worse for the status quo neoliberal centrists in the democrat party.
