I wouldn't say that Sanders is a "charlatan." Instead, he lacks integrity and guts to do the things that he believes in. For example, when Clinton and the Democratic Party stole the 2016 nomination from him, he told Chris Hedges and others that he wouldn't run as a 3d party candidate because he didn't want to end up a pariah like Ralph Nader. By the 2020 campaign Sanders had become just like the Democrats, hiring corporate scum to run his presidential campaign.

He's not a socialist, he's a reformer, that's why I used that word -- he's being misleading. Your analysis captures his true identity quite adequately.
