What it takes to win elections is a group of activists who are aware of history - both recent and distant. If someone knows history, they will know that Democrats were losing elections steadily - indeed most of the political chatter was about the death of the Democratic party because they were so out of touch with Americans because of their socialist leanings - until Clinton and the third way. So if bush sr had won that election, do you really think we would be better off now? If mccain had beaten his third way opponent, would we be better off? Making progress means you have to get things done. Wishing won't get it.
You can toss out all the "gotta be radical left to win" crap that you want. History does not support your wishes.
