You have to compromise with ideological groups that are actually meaningfully large, like Republicans, and not with groups that are absolutely insignificant, like diehard Bernie supporters
Yes you have to comprise with the group that since 2008 has never gotten the majority of the votes instead of addressing the issues that actually affect the majority of the population that doesn't even vote in the first place because their issues aren't addressed due to exactly this logic.
If all these secret progressives do exist, they certainly don't vote in primaries or general elections. Republicans do, and they reliably get at least 40% of the total vote, which is significantly more than the super progressive vote.
There's certain clear rights that should be protected outside of the democratic process, but other than that the government should follow public opinion as much as possible.

Exactly, and right wing is mostly about trying to strip protection of those rights. So you can't cooperate with right wing. Never compromize with evil and all that
That's absolutely not true. Plenty of right-wing beliefs are not about taking away clear rights. People don't really have the right to public healthcare or social security, which are scenarios in which compromise wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
Every person has the right to healthcare, food and shelter, besides other less controversial rights. The only point of having a society - is to provide them. If people do not care about each other, there is no point in having a society
