No, I want to increase the size of the Democratic party by doing better campaigning.

Where did you ever get that idea from?

I am a pragmatist in politics and know full well, the candidate needs to run in a way that reflects the district.

It wasn't the progressives fault we got massacred the last 10 years.

I believe in a big tent party.

Biden is a big hit now because he is employing progressive ideas; and FDR won four elections with progressive ideas when the country wasn't nearly as progressive.

<,So you want to reduce the size of the dem party so we can be a minority party of fucking purist morons?

I don't recommend that. That's what the GOP is doing. You like the way that looks even though you claim to be all "progressive"? I guess you could progressively shoot the democratic party in the foot. I don't think it's a good idea, though.
