Why tho? They just yesterday said they'll throw 1.5 trillion into the markets.

the republicans, even more than the democrats, are a wall street party and they risk jeopardising seriously powerful backers if they actually start reducing the role of private enterprise in the economy, e.g. by a public option

what i can see them doing is some means-tested insurance subsidy, basically obamacare

Getting Trump out of power doesn't preclude direct action. The liberals (and let's not pretend that they are in any way "centrist") want things to go back to the golden age of Obama. Civil disobedience will deny them that prize. Given the stakes, there's not a lot left to lose.

I remember seeing that late night shows just kind of push for shorter clips to go viral on the news or like twitter and YouTube because less and less people watch them now.

It is also a rather revealing expression, as I find you have to have a certain "Patrick Bateman"-esque quality to know what happens when you drop a small dead animal (like a cat).

This whole Corvid-19 situation has shown how much we need the reforms that Sanders has proposed. There was a stark difference between Sander's address on the virus and Biden's. It seems like Biden just has no policy ideas whereas Bernie actually wants to help the average person. The media really has hosed us with all this.

It's a hostage situation, so whatever you generally envision yourself doing in that context makes sense I guess. I genuinely don't think concessions are coming when they can just keep pointing at Trump and daring us.

And you're right, the correct term is neoliberal, not centrist. They think they're centrists but really it's just that this country has two Republican parties.
