There will be more elections down the road with less precarious leaders and less crazy consequences should they lose. Bargaining chips occur during primaries; Democrats have none for good reason this cycle — and even the progressives are in consensus.
Unless you want to run for office — then by all means.
You act as though progressives are the silent majority. We are deeply the minority in this country. We’re the smartest voters who, yes, Democratic strategists know will fall in line because we are aware of the greater poison. We don’t really have a bargaining chip in the first place.

Until we slowly overtake the Democratic party and the previous generation dies off, change is going to be slow and steady. Surely you’d agree it’s easier to destroy than to maintain or make progress.

Oh? Is that why we got Biden? Because of all those bargaining chips we have?
Anyway you didn’t even try to deny that moderates will just give us the finger and walk away. You know it’s true.
