... we are stronger when people join and support the Democratic party and engage in the primary system. Others who are too proud (or angry?) to commit to the Democratic party, and/or who demand "open primaries," or who run as third-party non-Democrats, will only end up diluting the liberal vote and weakening the party. This makes it easier for the Republican candidates to win.

If this is another incarnation of "Justice Democrats" or "Our Revolution" then I predict that we have some tough times ahead, since neither of those groups have any genuine or sincere interest in growing or strengthening the Democratic party.
