I think in this moment as a leftist I am asking centrists like you to take the blinders you have on seriously.
Can you not see it is evident that the U.S. populace is far more ready to throw the status quo out than you are?
There is no center to defend here, change is the only option and your only choice is whether that change is directly into fascism (which is what advocating for centrism in a moment like this ultimately does) or into a progressive, forward thinking bold vision of the future.
We need a green new deal, not some lame ass policy propped up by Biden, Hillary, Shumer… and from the very beginning the visions put out by centrist Democrats are steeped in a cynical complete lack of vision that surpasses even Conservatives in inability to see any change in the status quo (though their visions are far scarier of course).
There is no “returning” to anything, there is only moving forward and centrist Democrats legitimately scare the shit out of me with how baby like they are with being afraid of change, it puts the future of this country in great peril.

Talk to people outside of your circles. Check polls, even if they disagree with your preconceptions.
This country is not as left-wing as you think it is, and it just elected a literal outright unashamed fascist.
Progressives have not put in the time and effort of making something like you are describing.
Maga did and reformed the GOP but progressives are content not voting and idly removed on twitter.
Put in the effort and maybe people will take you seriously.
