We can't do without energy, though, so all sides must be allies in the general fight against the owners of our country and their neo-liberal philosophy. That is the common enemy to all these groups within the progressive movement and the Democrats. It must be defeated so that alternative energy can be supported.

You'll never get there by being hysterical and 100% oppositional.  The only viable solution that creates a wave of support is one that focuses on finding solutions for the many, and then works to implement them.

This is a great example.  I doubt that most people who oppose transporting oil by pipeline understand that they are by definition supporting the transport of oil by rail.  That's not benign either (see: Lac Megantic Quebec in 2009, 47 killed).
