"The Left?" The Democratic Party is not synonymous with leftism in any classical philosophical sense. Tulsi Gabard and Elmo? You may as well count Ronald Reagan, Strom Thurman and Wendel Wilkie with your group of discontented Dems who switched.

Okay, so what causes such a dramatic shift beyond discontentment?
Cynical reasons like 'grifting' have their place, but many voted for (voting records) & supported ($) Dem ideas/candidates prior to 2016, then fled the party.
If you mean rank-and-file voters, I have no idea, and won't until non-partisan quantitative analysts test their sundry hypotheses. But I won't be confusing the public for high-profile nutjobs like RJK Jr., and long-time conservative Russian assets like Tulsi Gabbard.

It contributed to the loss in a profound way.
