It is true that far, far more Americans (particularly in larger population centers) want more social and economic benefits from their tax money and aren't being distracted by the culture war nonsense.
But I do believe the establishment democrat platform is basically owned and operated by the same forces that are empowering the right. AIPAC for one, the rest are a who's-who of corporate interests and financial institutions.
Creating an opponent against your own cause, but one you can actually control and manage is a trick as old as time itself for fooling people into supporting your side while thinking they're opposing it. This is why sites like reddit are basically under state control, even though you think it's swinging left or liberal, the entire spread of narratives there are tightly managed and the closer you look, the more apparent it becomes. (Look up Eglin Air force Base + Reddit for a real tinfoil-clad rabbit hole.)
