Why would Democrats move to the left if the left refuses to vote for them? The lesson Democrats take is they need to move to the center to get votes

They need to move leftwards because that's the ideology with the policies that will turn things around. As Stiglitz has said, they need to abandon neoliberalism. It's not about getting left wing votes (though they would reclaim those) it's about getting the votes of ordinary people.

If moving left ward is the answer to getting the votes of ordinary people, why do so many ordinary people vote for Republicans?

I think voting for Trump and voting for Republicans are a different thing. Most elections in both the UK and US are decided by the changing votes of relatively small numbers of people. Also, there isn't really much political difference between the Democrats and Republicans.

By European standards, they're both right wing parties.
