Can they? Sure, b/c the majority of the Democratic elite is not stupid.
Will they? Doubtful, b/c the status quo works just fine for them.
Pelosi will stay in DC until she wants to leave. Ditto Schumer, Feinstein, Harris and any other high-profile Democrat. They get showered with money from fat cat donors, use that money to live lavish lifestyles, get the best medical care, have maximum job security thanks to local constituencies who share in the spoils and only venture outside their insulated bubbles when they need PR material. Even then, they have handlers and security to make sure it only looks like they’re mixing with reality.
If they believe demographics are shifting in their favor, why take risks? Why make fundamental, difficult changes when they believe they can just wait it out in their limos and fancy hotels?
If you abandon the belief that top Democrats are more noble than top Republicans, it all makes perfect sense.
