I'm not a Democrat. Fuck capitalism .
The reality is that the Democrats want to win, and chasing the left isn't how you win. There just aren't enough people on the left in the US to make it worth it. And many leftists who exist have the same attitude as you mention. I.e. the Dems aren't doing enough so fuck them.
If all you wanted to do was win, what would your strategy be? How many leftists do you think are in the US to even be rallied? I think if there were that many, we'd see third parties winning at the state or local level.
Win for what? What do they want to do with the levers of power? Neoliberalism and conservatism? It's not just the small group of leftists that they stand to gain with better policies-- there's a huge pool of potential voters out there who just ignore politics completely. It seems like a chicken/egg problem right? Dems don't chase left/non voters because they don't vote Dem, or is it those people don't vote Dem (or at all) because Dems don't chase them? I argue it's the latter, because political parties need leadership more than they need polling nonsenses weathervanes.
