I don't disagree with your point, but worth noting that by and large the Blue Dogs weren't pushed out by the Democratic party, but lost their seats to Republicans in the 2010 flip.
Not coincidentally, most of them were 'conservative Democrats' precisely because they hailed from, and represented, more conservative states and districts.
Personally I wish we had a more parliamentarian system - our current system inevitably defaults to two-party rule.
