she felt there was no suitable candidates to take over
Yes, a ridiculous and indefensible position. Imagine the ego to think no one else in the country can do your job (where much of the legwork is done by your clerks, anyway). You really don’t have to hand it to her, even a little.
I have noticed that parties that are to the left of the other parties
I don’t see how this is responsive to the point that Democrats should have sat down with Ginsburg and tried to convince her to retire. There’s no excuse for them not only not doing that, but doing the exact opposite.
the question is how to get there from here
Sure, and the answer starts with coming to terms with the fact that the Democratic Party needs to be replaced, or at least changed so radically that it’s unrecognizable. It deserves no loyalty and gets no benefit of the doubt.
Anything short of that approach winds up in the same “oh but they’re the lesser evil” excuse, which isn’t even true (genocide is not lesser evil), and just leads to the rightward rachet effect we’ve seen for the last ~50 years.

I think there were enough factions that it’s hard to say Democrats as a whole did anything. I’m pretty sure some did sit down and try to convince her to retire, but then I suspect others told her she was too special and should hold on, which speaks to your next point.

That sounds like a good goal. In your opinion, how do we go about achieving it without leaving the country to the mercy of the republicans in the mean time?
genocide is not lesser evil
Whilst I do understand your point, I would say that magnitude plays a part too. The fact we even have to consider that is appalling.
