The DNC is only keeping the far-right at bay, instead of actually stomping it dead for good.

"In my view, we need a strong Republican Party. We need a Republican Party that’s united." - Joe Biden
Well, yeah...
The only chance an unpopular neoliberal has of being president, is the threat that they're the only other option to Republicans.
Otherwise they'd never get any votes.
So neoliberals want Republicans to be the biggest threat possible.
The context for that quote was a 2011 interview. The Obama administration was having trouble working with the Republicans because the Tea Party movement had gotten a lot of firebrands elected where working together with Democrats to effectively govern was unthinkable. The Republican House leadership since then has been weak, which has led to multiple government shutdowns.
This is politician-talk for "get your fucking shit together, you're embarrassing everyone".
