False.If the party feels strong about its platform, then an outsider like Schultz shouldn't be a problem. The reality is that he is highlighting the real issue of the Democratic party being pulled too far to the left. If that was not happening, then him running would be a non-issue.
The real issue of the Democratic party is that it is the only choice at political representation for those who don't share the core tennets of US Conservatism (a neo feudal society). It is an umbrella organization that needs to represent a political spectrum wider than the kind of representation political parties are typically able to cover. Within the Democratic party, there are politicians who would like to break the two-party system we have, but it won't happen because that would require a constitutional amendment (and bipartisan support), which would make the GOP platform irrelevant overnight.
