Progressives won in states where Harris lost, so objectively, yes. We don’t need Republicans and Diet Republicans. We need two noticeably different parties.
The voters that elected Trump hate progressives. Those are the the libs they want to “own.” The only way becoming more progressive would help is if millions of people that didn’t vote in the 2024 election vote for the progressive candidate.
Considering there were about 90 million (archived) who didn’t vote in 2024, that seems totally possible. Harris only lost by about 2-3 million, so we’re talking 5% of this group needing to be the sort of “both parties are too right wing, there’s no point in voting” types who could be brought into our fold.
Reports are now showing over 4 million valid votes were rejected and purged by various voter suppression tactics taken between 2020 and 2024. Seems there might turn out to actually be something to the stolen election theory
Most people who voted for Trump didn’t do it for the reason your implying. A very loud minority did it to “own the libs.” Most people voted for Trump because they didn’t like the current state of things, like the economy. You have a very flawed understanding of the political landscape if you think the majority of voters did anything “to own the libs.”

Super majorities of voters of both parties support progressive policies
