What it *feels* like the Extremely Online pro-Sanders pundits believed was Sanders had all the normal working-class voters on his side, the college-educated "PMC" obnoxious woke liberals they hated were all split among the others, and once they made them bend the knee it was set
Elected officials don't directly do that much, their role in our government is to be a democratic oversight over a system that mostly hires based on meritocracy and mostly runs itself YMMV on whether this is a good thing, but "democracy = idiocracy" has mostly been false
