Like a nose, Sanders is usually sticking out, on the front lines for issues important to progressive Democrats. He can also smell out any and all Trump attempts to lie and mislead. And he can blow out that nonsense with an oratorically gifted voice that reaches millions.
And he is fully attached to the body of the Democratic party. No he's not a deeply embedded organ, like a liver or a set of lungs, he prefers to cling onto the outside. He has an independent streak and his function is totally unique. But he is a part of the face of the Democratic party non the less. Cutting it off will perhaps make a few in here have their dose of schadenfreude against someone who dared to threaten their choice in the primaries, but its an ugly ugly sight. (I accidentally wrote "site" at first, another damn grammatical error!, but in hindsight, I think it might fit just as well)
