They can't submit to every progressive demand because some of them are sure losers. They are doing all they can and progressives seek to punish them by making us lose another election, just like they did in 2000, 2016, and 2024. Progressives claim they are the ones who care about the poor, the uninsured, etc. But they don't, because they are fine with Republicans winning. These attacks on Democrats hurt turn out and are making the Fascist movement possible.
