Not scared. As we say, a big tent. But some districts need different candidates than others to win.
Fight the label and candidate battles in the primaries.
Unite for the election behind whoever is the Democratic candidate and their platform. If you don't like a piece of it, don't mention it until after the election. Present a unified front against all opposition in order to win the election.
Push the policies you desire after the election. Shape policy then. Promote members from within then.
It is much easier to push a Democratic elected politician toward your desired policies than a Republican elected politician. Period.
(note: This post and my previous one do not mention one or another position on the spectra, nor labels either.)
