Exactly. It helps they also control who can even run for office in any meaningful way. Nobody fights the left harder than Democrats. Good luck finding a representative that is against data centers, flock, Israel, congressional stock bans and pausing and regulating AI, views overwhelming popular with the majority of the actual American public.

My experience is that nobody fights the democrats harder than "leftists".

You are misunderstanding basic political terminology then, if you think it's somehow odd that leftists are against Democrats. Democrats and Republicans are both capitalists and liberal in the classical sense, both of which leftists oppose.

Funny. In my experience, nobody fights the “leftists” harder than the Democrats. I think the Republicans fight the Democrats harder than anyone else, and aside from the “leftists”, no political group seems to really fight the Republicans.

That is rapidly becoming Democratic party orthodoxy. At the very least there are a sizable number of Democrats who fit that.
