This almost reads as satire to me. Really, it was the culture issues that right wing news focuses on, and no one other than their audience seems to ever talk about? If democrats abandoned all of their support for these issues, the right wing media would just find another list of excuses and move us even further right.
It's like he almost got it at one point... then just misses the mark completely.
Jon Stewart just had a good take on the daily show about this "Democrat Woke-Blaming" nonsense.

I’ve been critical of Sam Harris for a long time, his whole shtick is white washing shitty centrist talking points by presenting himself as a reasonable intellectual. He’s just secret Jordan Peterson, he’s even defended him before and then defended that defense as not a defense

Haven't paid much attention to Sam Harris for years, last time was probably around 2017 when some grouped him in to the "Intellectual dark web". Based on this episode it seem that unlike Jordan Petterson, Harris has somewhat managed to avoid getting radicalized by his audience and/or haters. But it could be that he's just really good acting calm and reasonable.
Care to give any examples on these white washed centrists talking points that you're most critical of?

The ones in this very article about trans people.

Well I have to agree that he did have controversial takes on those issues.
Albeit many of which probably resonate well with average American voters.-
average American voters.
I think you mean MAGA. Normal people don't care about hating on muslims, trans people, etc. We have actual lives with real problems.
