Sirota:

Liberals are offended by Trump’s lack of manners in pulling off extreme versions of what their own party icons have done, but many Americans seem to cherish the Joker-like quality of Trump’s antics. They seem to appreciate that — unlike establishment Democrats — Trump at least doesn’t use a dog whistle to trick anyone. He uses a bullhorn to proudly broadcast and brag about his malfeasance — all while offering a captivating and distracting culture war along the way.

Swinging these disillusioned voters away from the authoritarian right is an imperative — not for saving the Democrats, but for saving the country. And yet right now, these voters are being offered only conservatives’ MAGA circus or liberals’ Davos cocktail party.

We literally just tried avoiding the culture war to convert conservatives and the centrists and Sirota won't let that stop them from saying the problem is all that wokeness. Fuck them all.

That's not how I read that in the context of the rest of the article. Maybe it's me, but I feel like you try to fit this article into the "centrists" framing when it's not about that. The article is about offering alternative to Trump fake anti-establishment talk with a real policy based anti-establishemnt movement. It's promoting everything that corporate (aka centrists) Democrats doesn't stand for.
