First you argue against ideological purity, and then you argue for it. No. You are fabricating.

Do you have any clue... Ad hominem, if you can't attack the position attack the person. Nice.

Let me make this clear ... demands a set of core beliefs and strict adherence.... Some political parties have successfully enforced strict adherence to the party such as USSR Communist Party, Chinese Communist Party, Nazi Party, and their kin.

More precisely, political parties must find unity in a common purpose... Agreed, but not to the point of strict adherence to the party line.

The upcoming elections must not be simply about regaining a Republican majority...The United States has already been permanently altered...by Republicans and Democrats alike. Agreed, but another round of Democrat control may be the coup d'gras

The Democrats have a common purpose. Disagree. Democrats are a big tent party of different interests. The Party Enforcers make the congressmen follow the party line, mostly.
