Third Way

[BainsBane]

22. Who are your representatives?

How does electing Ellison and Franken amount to being corporate mouthpieces? Are your representatives pure enough to suit you? Who are they?

You are perhaps the worst offender. You call everyone a Third Wayer and it has nothing to do with ideology. You called a Sanders supporter a Third Wayer because he suggesting following Sanders advice and making the discussion positive. You apparently found it unacceptable than he didn't focus on average American voters as the enemy. If someone is poor and cares more about getting by than TPP, they are a Third Wayer. If someone is concerned about voting rights because they are African American and have faced life-long discrimination and a not too distant history of disenfranchisment, they are a Third Wayer. In short, anyone who doesn't promote the concerns of the bourgeoisie over the working class and the poor are Third Wayers. How is it that the so-called pure Democrats end up resenting the same people the GOP does?


What do you have to show for all your insults? Do you go around canvassing in poor neighborhoods calling those people Third Way like you do on DU? Has that helped you get progressives elected? Or do you too live in an area that sends Republicans to DC?
