A right of center stone dais. The majority in the Democrats don't actually want progress, they just want to maintain the previous "normal." That is despite their opposition pushing further and further right and making parts of the new "normal" facets of the old extreme. Most of this ceding of ground and drift further right has been to foster a large authoritarian surveillance system that they both benefit from. It's hard to tell if the cooperation with the Republicans towards that system is fully intentional or just a useful secondary effect of the Democrats' tactics of trying to appeal to the broadest voter base possible. Maybe a bit of both depending on the official (such as Joe Manchin).
