This is really not true at all. The Dems nominated Biden, the ultimate moderate/safe choice over more left-wing options like Sanders and Warren. Ultimately, the Dems are a very centrist party. The far-left wing like AOC make a lot of noise and are very popular with young people on Twitter and Reddit, but people like her don't have anywhere close to as much influence in the party apparatus as you seem to believe (much to the chagrin of people who want to pull the US further to the left on issues like single-payer universal health care and climate change).
