Dems could become a left wing party if that’s where voters wanted them.

They do want them to be, and Dems proved they'd rather lose an election then let that happen.

Lose an election to who

Voters.

Democratic leadership can schedule events or platform people or even change the rules but voters get to vote at the end of the day. There are more voters than leadership. And if voters didn't vote for centrists in primaries there wouldn't be any centrists in office.
