Democrats in recent years win elections based on hatred of the incumbent Republican president but then quickly lose power once in office. Author Ed Burmila argues these defeats are in part because Democrats are addicted to a safe, milquetoast approach of casting themselves as centrist and competent, instead of pushing a core set of values and policies.

I agree with the sentiment, but it's not a "mistake." Centrists are beholden to billionaire dollars and therefore can't address the systemic problem caused by inequality. We have to correct the legalized corruption to address the situation.
