The Fundamental Question Facing Democrats

The Los Angeles Times' Ron Brownstein has a new article about the Democratic Leadership Council's (DLC) annual meeting, where he quotes me describing what I think is the fundamental decision facing the Democratic Party:

"The fact is, the Democratic Party has to make a choice: is it going to continue to follow the DLC, be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Corporate America, and lose elections for the infinite future?" Sirota said. "Or is it going to go back to its roots of really representing the middle class and standing up for ordinary people's economic rights?"

You can read the whole article here for more but that really is the big question. It will decide whether Democrats continue to be a permanent minority, or whether they will ever start contending for majority status in national politics again.
