You can say Obama acted like an activist when he spoke at an anti-Iraq invasion rally, Robert F, Kennedy act like one when spoke at an anti-Vietnam war and tour the south to witness the poverty that black suffered under Jim Crow. All these incidents strengthen their followers' support for them. So I don't know what your beef is outside the fact that those who are doing this now you don't like for political reasons.
Just because you said our complaints are bs doesn't mean they are. Hell, we when through four years here listening to republican posters said the same thing about the complaints against Trump. Y'all share the same trait, you dismiss anything that attacks your boy or in your case girl angrily. Tribalism, thou shalt never criticize the leadership. I am sure you will let me know when I break some more commandments y'all hold dear.
Those progressive beat moderate democrat, so somebody in those districts aren't too happy with mod democrats as well. All of those mods had the full endorsement of Pelosi and the DNC. Notice the number of progressive are steadily climbing, small but climbing. Maybe if Biden is successful in pulling off progressive policies, the mod can undercut the progressive and win back those seats. It is all on the Mods to win back the progressive vote. Bit ch and moan about progressive all you want but it was people's lack of faith in the moderate that open the door to them.
