That's only ironic if you actually buy into the propaganda that the Democratic Party is actually leftist, much less extreme leftist/neo-Marxist or whatever the Republican hyperbole du jour is. Everyone else, including American leftists forced to ally with the Democrats because they're the only game in town, is well aware that the Democrats been moving steadily to the right since Carter. It didn't help that the only reason anyone voted for Biden to begin with was that he wasn't Trump. Biden's only mandate was to be less evil than the other side and he couldn't even manage the simple, basic task of being against genocide. And then Harris doubled down on it. Which is really why they lost - not because they're too radically leftist for "normal people" (the implication that no leftists are normal is seen and noted) but because they aren't nearly leftist enough, and so Democrats decided to stay home in droves, or cast futile votes for third party.
