Then you've made your choice. Your party has made its choice. That's why your party is going to whither and die while it clings to an idealized past that never truly was and stubbornly alienates anyone who could bring it back from the brink. Have fun being completely powerless and irrelevant in fifty years...If coming across the way you think means altering my principled beliefs, no thank. There is an old Tibetan proverb that says "It's better to be a tiger for one day than a sheep for a thousand years". The Democrats have made themselves a symbol of relative morals and those willing to modify principled beliefs. Anyone willing to modify their principled beliefs never had them to start with. Anyone willing to follow those people also have no principles. Standing on one's principles isn't a sign of weakness. It's a sign of honor. A willingness to alter what is supposed to be a principled belief in order to get votes, money and free PR is a sign they can't be trusted. Someone that is willing to change that easily is someone that can be trusted in the short term or long term. You never know when it might change again. I'd rather die knowing I held to my belief that die knowing I cowardly changed them to benefit in the ways you think are OK.
