Yeah I would say that Our Revolution batting at just below 50% within the first two years of existence is not disarray nor would I believe that the movement is failing when almost all of the Democrats considering a run for president have adopted Sanders' core policies that were originally billed as too "pie in the sky" by the Clinton wing. There is merit to Sanders' overlooking of the importance of a focus on racial justice specifically; although it is again worth noting that Sanders has taken steps to address this issue with his meetings with Krasner and Black Lives Matter. Bernie himself has admitted that he was naive and blind to the level of disparity between how people of color are treated as compared to white America.
