It's not for liberals to move the democratic party left, it's for everybody that wants the democratic party to change to do so.

Their base is whoever votes in the primaries.

It took about 7 years for the Republican party to change from the Bush/Cheney era to full on fascism. The democratic party is not immune to a drastic change (hopefully towards the opposite end of the spectrum), but it won't happen overnight and people that want this change must get involved. Money allows to promote an agenda, helps with organizing a campaign, but ultimately it's the people who vote.

I only used that word cause of the person I replied to. I personally don't view the Democrats as capable of moving left, at least not on the major stage. The only way to get a leftist party is to destroy the major parties through violence.
