Hard to win primaries when the party itself stacks the deck against you. Or just doesn't bother to have them at all

True, although I believe things only got so bad after the party elite had became isolated from their base, and the above is how they initially became isolated from them in the first place.

Maybe, but it happened decades ago, before most of the modern left were old enough to intervene.
