Yeah, they still need progressives to an extent, but Biden being elected without even really pretending to be progressive won't be good for them. They won't allow those progressives to gain too much ground either, we've seen how fruitless it is to try to take over a bourgeois party. They'll tolerate them only as much as they need to, for the sake of remaining the "opposition" to republicans that get plenty of donations
Democrats lost 14 seats this election lol. They would have lost 35 if not for socialist endorsed candidates sweeping their elections.
