Romney probably wins because there's enough voters who went Democratic in the past who simply wouldn't show up for a Sinema/Gabbard ticket.
Centrists forget progressives are still an important part of the reason Biden won, that they are mutual parts of a coalition against Republicans. Certain centrists seem to think they're the only Democrats that exist, and spend more time attacking and being snide towards the left wing of their party than attacking their real adversaries, the Republicans.
If enough progressives hadn't shown up in 2020, Trump would've gotten a second term. Gabbard wouldn't appease progressives and in fact would repel a good number of them because progressives supported Trump's impeachment. Sinema/Gabbard would lose, though Romney/Cheney wouldn't win by a particularly impressive margin.
