I thought of that first!
In seriousness though, her district is so extremely liberal and so extremely wealthy that she's totally safe, even if her voters have to do a two-step process like you suggest.
That we have a region of the country like San Francisco that sends people to Congress who are so far out of step with what most people want is one problem. I don't think there's like a voting or election reform type of solution to that problem.
That she ends up in charge of all of the Democrats in the entire house of representatives, is a totally separate problem. That's a problem I think you could fix with election reform, so that the other Democrats who end up getting elected feel less beholden to her. I think approval voting, or ranked choice voting, would give you some new blood. A better process would force them to answer more questions than just "are you a democrat?" A better process would give voters an opportunity to not just decide that they want to be represented by a Democrat or a republican, but to express an opinion about what kind of person they would like to see in leadership in congress. And I think the same is true of Republican leadership in both Houses. Only like 13 out of 270+ Republicans ever turned on Trump, and none of them were committee chairs. That's insane.
