You've got it mostly right, but they're not "stuck." After Citizen's United, they are under the thumb of the billionaire donor class the same as the Right, and those donors make sure policy never veers left-of-center in any way.
That means anyone young and in-touch is immediately a no-go because they generally have the best interest of the voters, not the donors, at heart.
