I'm happy to see the attitude of this article toward corporations: acknowledging that they can be and are a force for great destruction, but also a force that can be harnessed for good as an agent of reform.
I'm so tired of progressives who bitch that the presence of corporations in the coalition that supports the Democratic party shows that Democrats are no different from Republicans (Hello Nader voters). That attitude is informed by mindless anti-corporatism. I expect a Democratic candidate to express progressive values by confronting the powers that be (like corporations), but also to harness them when they can to serve the greater good.
