We are like 2 months from them saying they are fully in line with republicans and would rather lose than admit they are unpopular.

Yeah, thats really not what the party is about I would think.
Maybe we should ask what they actually stand for and it is just on us for misunderstanding.

Centrist Dems sound identical to right wing Cons.

20 years ago, thats exactly what they would be.
Overton window, ratchet effect, etc.

Maybe you're a capitalist, but I'm no capitalist. I sell my time and labor for vouchers to cover my food and housing. A capitalist owns my power plant and pays me to run it. But when the AI bubble bursts and the market crashes because it was glued to that bubble and power demand plummets from these data centers shutting down, that same capitalist who pays me will be demanding a bailout because deep down, they also want some level of socialism too. We all just want a safety net, and it's fucking stupid to pretend that it's holding us back to have that.
Eat shit, capitalists.

That's the problem. Left starts at being anti-capitalist.
