Do you really think the Democrats have moved further to the left fringe? Really?! The reality is the entire American political spectrum has shifted to the right. Eisenhower would be seen as a far-left Democrat today, and Roosevelt would be scorned as a communist!
The greatest trick the Republicans ever pulled was convincing vast swaths of Americans that a centre-right president like Obama is actually a liberal extremist.
