Bernie's not an extremist (and at this point, when people use "far left" perjoratively it is not really referring to Bernie anymore - he isn't mean enough and actually cares about poor people) but he isn't running the party either. The centrist leadership allow the far left to run things as long as the centrists can protect the rich and corporations and keep their high offices and titles. That's their implicit deal.
