I think it's time to write off the progressive demographic.

How many times can a man get mugged by the same people on the same street corner before people call him a rube?
Needless to say, whomever the democratic candidate is, the fight is on the left, not the right. Because we're dumb. So forget the progressive vote entirely, run a campaign that doesn't bother taking them into account.
Cain:
The 2018 "blue wave" is going to be the biggest disappointment since the grand finale of Lost. I have rarely seen this level of political ineptitude, its like the Democratic party, on every wing, looked at Labour's first year under Corbyn and said "yeah, lets do that".

It's not even the party. Hell, the idea of going after the tax cuts isn't bad.
It's the left in general, which hates itself more than it hates Trump and McConnell. The mainstream dems and the progressives would far rather snipe each other than the GOP. In fact, I've noticed that the "progressives" ONLY snipe at dems, rather than sparing a little of their wrath for Trump. If you mention "Trump was caught shoving WWII veterans into traffic," the response will be "BUT HILLARY."
I am coming to believe that progressives are in fact republicans. There's no functional difference, at any rate.
LMNO:
Where are you meeting these people? The progressives I've run across do want their candidates to be as far to the left as they are and get pissed when their only choice for a Democrat is someone who could have run as a 1970s Republican, but there's a lot of rage and bile for the GOP and Trump.

I think it plays a role. The party is in complete organisational disarray, from what I can see, so that has everyone pushing their own objectives and making internal power plays instead of focusing on the task at hand. The weakness invites infighting, and everyone intent on refighting the 2016 primaries are going to be the worst offenders.
