Does Biden have enough progressives to get more progressive stuff passed? No. Two conservative democrats block that.

The party will always find just enough no votes, no matter how big a majority we give them.

2008 begs to differ.

2008? When we gave Democrats a supermajority and they found enough no votes to kill the public option? When we gave the Democrats a supermajority and they didn't bother to codify Roe? That 2008?
