This has been the Dems MO since Reagan won in '84.
They only win because of backlash against the obviously horrible policies of Republicans, and I am predicting that (if America still has elections 4 years from now) that if the Dems keep moving right we will be in a constant back and forth of a disastrously bad Republican messing everything up, so any Dem can swoop in and win, but after the Democrats 4 years of maintaining the disastrous Republican Party, the collective memories of Americans will forget who put them in this bad situation to begin with and vote for a Republican.
Until the Democrats finally admit that there is not enough moderates in this country to maintain electoral power, and begin wooing the left in actually meaningful ways, will they have a chance at the regaining the power they had in the FDR era.

Deeply unserious political party.
