8. I don't care about labels, liberal, libertarian, populist, progressive, all I care about

are the policies.

All of these labels are for the people on at least some issues, if not all of them.

I believe the best way to "recapture the soul of the Democratic Party" as the OP strives to suggest, is to form new coalitions across these ideological boundaries and to find common ground where we can.

If we don't, that power vacuum will be left to the corporate supremacists in both parties to fill and nothing will change.
