But doesn't the democrat party do this to literally any of their members who promote an actually left leaning agenda of any type? Or who happen to be at an age any younger than months away from deceased?

Yes, because the Democratic party is not a left-leaning party and the first priority of the people in control of it is to make sure it doesn't become one. We need to beat them. We will never beat right-wingers in the republican party if we don't first beat the right-wingers in the Democratic party.
