the author seems fairly clear in pointing out the Democrats should stake a more confrontational position that clearly opposes the corporate assault on the environment, the gradual embrace of fascism, the perpetual lying and distorting of the corporate media, and the looting of the public purse by the rich. You note the Democrats can't win on party line votes since they're in the minority, but it's possible they're in the minority because they (as a party, not in individual cases) fail to take the kind of stands the author proposes.
