I'm really perplexed by the missing middle of the Democratic party leadership. Where are all the centrists born in the 50's and 60's? Why is the left only represented by people born before or after the Baby Boom? Why do the few middle-aged politicians who try fail so quickly?
So why are there so few prominent centrist/neoliberal/whatever you want to call them people who are middle aged at the top of the party? This is not a factional problem, it's the same for the left and the right of the party.

I guess I’m not identifying neoliberals with the center. We had free-market fundamentalism for a while which is kinda incompatible with progressivism

Ergo, no progressive centrists. People were either on the market train or trying to stop it?

Obama? I think that the message is hard to build grassroots support from younger generations/working class on since it’s basically about maintaining a status quo (cynical take), and older generations/those with wealth have people in their corner already
