If Democratic candidates ran on progressive ideas on a consistent basis...
they would win more elections over time than lose. Yes, in individual elections or cycles, they would lose here and there, but over time, they would win more because their ideas would resonate with the people.
Little Mary Baby Fat told the citizens of her state that they were mysigonists and racists, there's precious little more "progressive" than that. Care to tell me how that worked out for her, guttersnipe?

C.S. Lewis
A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.
John C Calhoun, "Disquisition on Government", 1840
