Is it possible the far left is getting way to much attention/praise for the victory in 2018, and that the lesson we should actually take from the mid-terms is if democrats focus on issues that matter to the people without going to the grand extremes of the far left, they can win?

Somewhere in the middle. The more moderates candidates may have won more, but the far left candidates have shifted policy talk and brought their ideas into the mainstream. Bernie is the classic example.
