It did come primarily from the center, but the difference is, those centrists have no movement and no power.

Well... they have power. But very limited ELECTORAL power, anyway. Unlike the socialists. Bernie Sanders has far more power than Mark Penn.

Like the "forsake identity" centrists are weaker than either the Obama-ites or the Bernie-ites. (Thank goodness!)
