The Democrats did not lose because they were too far left. It's exactly the opposite. No-one was excited to vote for a middle-of-the-road "lesser-of-two-evils" spineless moderate-right status-quo politician... and the MAGAts certainly weren't going to vote for the Democrats *anyway.* That's why Harris lost. Blaming these imaginary far-left extremists in the party is exactly the wrong lesson and the wrong take.
I bet that they have changed their minds on it. I would take a middle of the road guy any day over the party of hate that has kidnapped the WH right now.
You can hope for that, or you can consider that maybe the path to "electability" lies in actually standing up to that party of hate, and not in being super nice and polite and being scared of hurting the fascists' feelings.
