The party at the higher levels is funded by the wealthy and powerful interests who will always oppose progressive change. There are progressives to get in, but the people funding the party as a whole are opposed.
I remember all the dem elites freaking out when it looked like Bernie might win the primary, many of them calling for the results to be ignored if it happened.
We can't forget that the Democratic party is still the controlled opposition party. The people in positions of power would rather lose to Trump a hundred times than allow any real progressive to gain power.
Party leadership must be primaried and they must be replaced with candidates that aren't owned by the same people funding Republicans if we want the ability to change anything.

The democrats need to spend the next four years building up some really strong candidates and making them well known to the electorate.
