    The problem is that worldwide this is not a time for centrism. Promising “nothing will fundamentally change” is a great way to immediately lose an election.

        Or, more realistically, hijacking the Democratic party and dragging it kicking and screaming towards the left.

      You may not have noticed but the entire world has lurched to the right. You can’t win an election by wooing voters on the left, you’ll just lose votes on the right.

      The American left will just stay home and pay on reddit about how the dems are secretly right wing capitalists anyway.

      Embracing centrism, like real centrism and not some Joe Rogan “centrism” would be an amazing change compared to the current situation. I agree that it’s never an easy thing to sell though. Centrism is boring.
