Unfortunately for you, most other progressives have jumped fully aboard the SJW train, so they are (for the most part) just fine with the reversal of the Cenk endorsement, due to his previous perverted comments about women.

Honestly the voters of CA-25 should worry a lot more about Cenk being a carpetbagger than his weird obsessions with Miami women and beastiality, but this whole thing doesn't play well with the SJW crew. I don't see a mass abandonment of Bernie over this. He will lose a very small number of supporters over this, but it's not a big deal overall.
I’m not that unusual. Among prominent YouTube Progressive voices, Cenk Uygur, Kyle Kulinski mostly reject/question the cancel culture and third wave feminism even though they may temper their criticism of specific Progressive candidates who support it out of a desire to not fracture the Progressive movement, David Pakman probably comes closest to being frank about their toxicity. You just tend to interpret the loudest and most extreme voices as representing the typical Progressive. And that would be like me claiming that one of loudest and most extreme rightwing voices out there, such as Mike Cernovich and John Hagee as representing the typical conservatives.

In fact, Cenk Uygur has spoken out angrily about how the Dems fucked up by pushing Al Franken out of the Senate over the allegations of him groping some women versus having him do a public mea culpa and promising to be better in the future. First, because Franken was very good at his job there for the Dems, and second, because it showed that the Dems don’t allow anyone to redeem themselves for mistakes made and move beyond them. That kind of rigidity/purity testing damages the party and robs them of otherwise excellent leading voices.
