I read this article before, and it is clear that economic populism (mixed with fiscal Pay-Go conservatism) is the only force that can keep the Democratic Party united. Hopefully this will be start of a cycle in which people determine their political affiliation on an economic basis instead of on social/cultural issues like abortion, gay marriage, and gun control as had been the case in recent decades. And if so, the Democratic Party will be well-positioned to achieve political dominance if it manages to keep gun control and abortion rights interest groups, as well as the ACLU at arms-length when legislation is being drafted.
