Dems could become a left wing party if that's where voters wanted them. They would lose their donors, yes, so the reps would become the much better funded party.
But if voters voted for left wing candidates there is nothing the donors or centrist politicians could do about it. It would be a generational project, winning primaries and general elections, but it could be done.
This is wrong. Even a compromise candidate like Bernie was colluded against, the party will only act in its own interests. It isn't a democratic party, it's one fully oriented towards resisting radical change.
Explained in my other reply to you.
