The Problem with centrists/moderates in the Democratic Party is the hollowing out of values to cater to the Rich and Powerful, putting the burden on the working poor and middle income families, this will lead to a rapid power shift back to the Reps which will be first realised in 2 years at the midterms 

Centrists ignoring popular reforms like M4A, $15 min wage and others by catering to the Rich donor class wont be well received in future polls by the young/new voters and working poor as they see one reform/promise get ignored one after another, it's the status quo all over again for them     

 

Lol, so you are saying that people who are struggling will go and vote GOP because they know that the GOP have the policies they are looking for.  That the working poor and middle class will suddenly realize that the GOP has always had their back and revert their vote to the GOP.  What even more funny, you keep posting this talking head peice as if it has some relevance.  As if this woman opinion actually mean anything.

If M4A and 15 dollar minimum wage are so popular then they can actually stand on their own within their own bill.  Any particular progressive Dem can get those brought up within house and get it to the Senate floor.  If you truly believe these 2 issues are so popular and that the nation is ready, then it should be costly for GOP and moderate Dems to vote against them.  If not then maybe your polls does not reflect the US as a whole or more to the point is as important as you believe.

"LOL" all you like.. You realise much of the GOP base are the working poor, the Dems were supposed to represent the poor, but decades of failure have made them look to those in the GOP like Trump to finally be listen to, the Dems have ignored the fate of the working poor for too long and instead listened to the powerful 

But what the Dems risk the most as they always have is a poor turn out on voting day due to a lack of enthusiasm, blocking one popular reform after another, breaking promises to the young and poor wont pay well on voting day, the Dems will give back the balance of power if this continues
