While I love this attack on the DNC, I am at a loss to figure out just what legal theory would support a non-member of a political party suing the party. Sanders is not a Democrat but an Independent. Can someone explain this coherently.

My understanding, which is based on superficial skimming of news reports, is that Sanders has dropped his suit, although he was running and a DEM candidate for president under DEM party rules.

The suit that is still in court is a class action suit brought by voters, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

Bernie Sanders supporters are suing the DNC: Here's what you need to know

That article includes a link to the complaint, and the complaint lists the claimed grounds for relief, starting on page 27 of the complaint.

The claimed legal theories for money damages are: Fraud, Negligent Misrepresentation, Violation of 28-3904 of the D.C. Code (Defendants misrepresented as to material facts that had a tendency to mislead), Unjust Enrichment, Breach of Fiduciary Duty, and Negligence.
