In this context, “Democrats” could be understood to mean the DNC, party leadership, and their favored corporate politicians. Obviously the people electing the democratic socialists aren’t the ones opposing the democratic socialists, but we’re talking about the people who have enough resources and connections to screw with us, and do, despite them saying that the party is progressive, a big tent, and that we should always support the candidates regardless of how much they align with us.
“Not all dems” is about as useful to the conversation as “not all cops” or “not all men” is to their respective discussions. Technically correct by a very literal interpretation of those words, but completely missing and/or obscuring, the point.
