state you have to be generally supportive of progressive ideals, however it does not make policy as to what is and isn't progressive. Nor do they speak of strict adherence on every point.

The ones you mentioned, however, aren't where the issue lies. These are axiomatically progressive. Where the issue seems to lie is on where the line can be effectively drawn between generally progressive and generally anti-progressive. HCR certainly is an issue here, while single-payer would be the most progressive, a real honest public option would also be. But in areas of grey as this, discussion and disagreement is essential to the process. The OP suggests otherwise.
