They lost again, four years into that, with another compromise candidate in John Kerry, who was pitched to appease centrists, in the interests of the broader coalition of the democratic party. We can talk until we're blue in the face about Obama's legacy, but he was not a compromise candidate.

Maybe liberals are too inherently technocratic to really know this, but, a successful party needs hope on its side, and hope isn't something that can be sold or taught, it needs to be fostered and inspired. And after squandering the high of Obama's victory, the DNC just hasn't known how to do that.
