In fact, we must focus less on ideological purity and attempt to gather folks to the right of the DLC. Why? Do the math! We need more voters not less and we need to be aiming for a 60% formula not only to win but to govern effectively. Which means that running as pure liberals will not accomplish our liberal goals. However, a strong Democratic presidency can move the country leftward and make long term liberal governance possible.

So, the party must outflank the Republicans on taxes, defense and national security. The winning formula will make a lot of liberals mad (remember how Clinton did just that), but ultimately, will accomplish more liberal goals than anything else.
