Not to defend OP (who is kind of defensive in these comments lol), but they did specify neolibs, not Democrats (although that’s a good chunk of DNC).
And sure, neolibs are still better than whatever the fuck Trump is at this point, but the Democrats do need a makeover the same way tea party took over established GoP. People crave change, it’s one reason they’d elect a sociopath promising change.
Trump was elected because of a concerted effort from foreign bots, the GOP propaganda machine and the billionaire class. Not because “people crave change”.
I would like to see Dems move further left. But it is a politicians job to do what their constituents want regardless of their ideology. So Dems and republicans will always need to cater to more than leftist ideology. At least until there are a lot more leftist voters.
