Libertarianish Democrats haven't figured out that while crossover voters are extremely important, they are more responsive to rhetoric than to ideology or policy.
Republicans call all Democrats radical, so you can have almost any views you want since they'll just lie anyway.

Ohio State University political scientist Tom Wood produced a fascinating chart that lays out the scope of the problem Americans face. US politics has been stalled because the Democratic Party will not make the massive changes that Americans want. They keep electing Democrats to make things better and then get dispirited when Democrats don't communicate the good things they did or what Republicans did to block good things. The cycle must be broken by big action and massive media expenditures.
