Lenin said the worse things are, the better they are for socialism, and he was right. Leftists are perpetually in a no win situation because improvements to the very things they care about - wages, employment, healthcare, safety nets - hurt their political position as people become richer and happier with the existing system. The goal for centrists (including the Republicans who know what they're doing) is thus to improve life for the people as that moves them away from wanting to make big changes to the system.

My view is that 2008-2016 was a once in a multiple generations opportunity for the left. The economy is much stronger now, and the desire for major change much lower. That is a good thing if you value the people's prosperity more than your political movement having power.

I dont know whats worse, the fact that the economy was strong as fuck from 2012-2019 and this is absolute nonsense, or that everything you just said is indistinguishable from Inviso.
