Look at the UK and what was done there when Corbyn - a real deal leftie - was elected leader of the Labour party (which hadn't be left of center for decades until then).

Prepare for the establishments Democrats to cooperate with Republicans and pretty much the entirety of the Press including the "progressive" newspapes to slander him relentlessly.

In Britain they kept on claiming that Corbyn and Labour under Corbyn were "anti-semitic", but nowadays after what Israel has done and how that accusation was so abused by those genociders and their supporters to excuse mass murdering of children, I doubt that strategy would work, even in the US (though notice that some are still half-hearthedly trying it with talk about how Jewish New Yorkers should be afraid).

Just beware: in the UK once they managed to kick out Corbyn the neoliberal faction took over Labour again, did a purge of any leftwing members of the party and now - only thanks to their First Past The Post system - are in government and doing things like convicting people to jail for participating in demonstrations, most notably by declaring of the peaceful protesting groups Palestine Action as a "Terrorist Organisation" and then arresting old ladies for demonstrating against the Gaza Genocide by supporting it, though they're doing a lot more than that since they've passed more generic "public nuisance" legislation to de facto make demonstrations illegal.

The neoliberals that infiltrated the supposedly leftwing mainstream parties in power duopoly "Democracies", when push comes to shove are little more than Fascists with fancy suits, smooth talk and extra varnish.
