The US does have actual progressives but not enough and they are stuck in the democratic party. The progressives have to vote on stuff they don't believe in because crumbs are better than nothing. I don't think that makes them sellouts because they have to get something done. AOC explains it here and she notes that it's about leverage on other things they need to get done. She wants Pelosi and Schumer out.
Here is an interview. She notes how weak the democratic party is and how under the corporate umbrella they are. And as she notes - if they get rid of a Pelosi - the replacement could be even worse as in more conservative.
If you watch the whole thing towards the end you can see Biden's conservative appointments - not a single one of them are progressives in any way.
