I think you've missed the point of populism. Democrats keep trying to fight MAGA sentiment with concrete and sensible policy (not to say I agree with their policy, but at least they try to base it on data and established theory more or less). But that leaves them open to discussion critique, negotiation and compromises. You know, messy stuff. Populism works by appealing directly to gut instinct, confirmation bias, and pithy but largely empty slogans.
What the Democrats need is someone who can be a populist in addition to having solid policy proposals. And to stop sabotaging those people in the primaries.
