I think when you break it down to the true hardcore's, progressives are a much smaller element of the Democrats ability to win than the Republicans. The QAnon Quacks are actually a meaningful component of any GOP path to victory. And unlike progressives who might actually vote third party, the QAnon Quacks will simply not vote if they aren't catered to.

It's also kind of funny because despite the incessant progressive bitching, the Dems have actually moved left in the last couple of years. But when they see how much further to the right the QAnon Quacks have moved the GOP, I suspect there's a little bit of bitterness and jealousy that progressives can't have the same impact.
