The real problem with the US and it's system is, money controls everything. A lot of Dems are closer to Republicans than they are to AOC or Bernie's side. So they'd probably rather silently sit around continuing to make their millions than actually endorsing people like AOC or Bernie to not piss off their rich donors. They don't want the gravy train to stop.

At the end of the day, it's a two party system that's really just one party system with slightly different viewpoints. But instead of the government controlling corporations, it's corporations that control the government. Ironically, there's not much difference between the US and other authoritarian systems. At least with authoritarian systems, you get a bit of stability. With the US, you're athe whims of whichever billionaire groups win.
