I think you're misunderstanding why the Dems lost. "The left" that you're referring to doesn't exist in the way you're imagining it. Kamala didn't win enough swing voters. Swing voters don't view themselves as leftist or rightist. Swing voters (apparently) vote based on their feelings.
I think we agree on some of that. The left didn't come out for their own rights or democracy, so 1) they will literally never come out, or 2) they don't exist. Take your pick, but the Dems are going to go hard center for the swing voters. They're not going to cater to the left, they're going to cater to the center. They're going to go for Clinton's "it's the economy stupid"
