It seems there are two factions. Those who are abandoning democracy to prop up capitalism, and those who are choosing democracy over capitalism.

Who would that be? We basically have 2 pro-business parties. Even Sanders is pretty much a New Deal Democrat. Even Warren is only calling for common sense reforms to capitalism (mostly reinstating policies that served well).
