The progressive wing has clearly influenced the party and moved it left. It's just not wholesale buy in, and apparently that's all that will be acceptable to a large contingent of the Bernie wing.
Again, I think that's largely because when given a chance to govern, the centrists have shown they aren't actually going to fight for the progressive causes they campaign on.

I don't think it's necessarily a "No Sanders? #### you all then," attitude as much as it's a "Show me why I should actually vote for you" attitude. "At least he isn't Trump," isn't an inspiring movement to get behind.

If it was me personally, I'd still hold my nose and vote for Biden, but I understand the appeal of letting the Democrats get embarrassed in another election and hoping that forces them to move more to the left.
