Literally the only difference between the (white cis male) centrists and (white cis male) Sirota is that he says "economic populism" and the centrists say "kitchen table issues" or "tariffs". They have exactly the same scapegoats, the same goal to convert conservatives, and the same dismissiveness for core constituencies on the left.
He literally centered "avoiding culture war" in the title and spent two thirds of it listing the things you shouldn't say, dutifully accompanied by conservative caricatures of the left. How you can come away from that as "it's just anti-establishmentism" is beyond me.
