They’re in no way progressive Dems. They don’t believe in stuff liked negative externalities. They don’t just hate taxes;they hate governmental interference in nearly all of their lives.
Progressive democrats generally affirm the incredible value and importance of government.
While there may be some overlap on topics of personal freedom, such as reproductive rights or drug decriminalization, libertarian views of government itself are much closer to classic conservatives. They both want to dismantle the government as it exists today.
Edit: or perhaps I misunderstood what you meant, which is that progressive democrats actually fight for a tangible reality in which liberty is increased for all. At which point we agree z
I consider myself a progressive libertarian… I want government to be just big enough to transfer wealth from the rich/corporations to the people/social services and to stop corporations from destroying things… I want government almost entirely out of my life otherwise until I need them for something
Edit: in addition I don’t believe in taxes on individuals. I think the corporations should be paying 100% of the taxes needed to maintain a functioning society, and we the people should be deciding what that entails.

I mean, yeah.
Libertarians claim to be all about personal freedom as long as it doesn’t impede on others freedom.
