The DNC is only keeping the far-right at bay, instead of actually stomping it dead for good.

I think it's kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy. The left is disappointed with the offerings, so they don't vote or get involved*. The people who do get involved then call the shots, which leads to more disappointing milquetoast offerings.
*Involved in the actual mechanisms of power. Not complaining on the internet, or voting once every four years. Unfortunately, money is power. I don't know how to fix that. I pray to saint luigi for guidance.
That maybe the case but the left used to be good at organising. They don't need to wait for a saviour to come, they have to do the change themselves.
Things like the FBI killing left wing organizers certainly didn't help (eg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Hampton#Assassination )
Bold to assume the average man gets to pick the candidates.
You'd have to get involved, but as I said I don't know how to solve for money being power.
