Oh a lot of them do, and for similar sentiments as well, but I think Biden's polling numbers would be a better indicator for it...

Harris can be as much of a dirty cop as she wants; she can't compete with Biden's racist uncle energy in this subset of the electorate.

The social democrat candidates, yes.
This is how it functions in Norway as well, where social democracy is just mainstream.
Reason being that social democracy is a very modest, "we should improve capitalism somewhat" political project, not particularly interesting or divergent.

E.g. in Norway the Labour Party is the *main* exponent of our extremely draconian drug laws (well OK, by Norwegian legislative standards).
They want the liquor monopoly to remain a steady revenue source. It's all very state capitalist at the end of the day.
I despise social democratic parties for their backwards-hankering unwillingness to actually, y'know, update their priorities and win elections.
Their political ineptitude is precisely what's allowing the current crop of governments to loot everything, everywhere.
