The party adopted one of the most progressive platforms in its history in 2016. Not too sure which biases you base your inaccurate premise on...
Platform changes: Criminal justice reform, price on carbon and methane to discourage continued use of fossil fuels, invest heavily in wind and solar power rather than natural gas., fight for a $15 federal minimum wage tied to inflation, urged passage of progressive immigration reform and called for legalization of marijuana, abolish the death penalty, break up too-big-to-fail financial institutions, establish a modern Glass-Steagall Act, end corporate tax loopholes, ban private prisons and expand Social Security.
However, I empathize with the need to ignore or trivialize these changes, as it doesn't really fit your narrative.
