No, this doesn't explain why Dems will frequently refuse to adjust the party platform to something not just the average Democrat wants but the average person in general in the US wants.

Democrats also REFUSE to get out ahead of the public opinion and advocate for lesser known issues or perspectives that are righteous but need a leader with a spine to stump for them. Democrat politicians largely refuse to treat their job like they have the agency and voice to move the american people and the consequences are heartbreaking and existential.
