Nina Turner: Wrong for Ohio

[TheBlackAdder]

41. Dealings with Third Way in the past, they are a group to create fissures in the Democratic Party.

.

They had roots with shaky fiscal conservativism, and was funded by a lot of Philanthropies and Private Organizations, including Charles & David Koch to push for lax 'free trade' and the stifling of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, and the group's initial goal was to push Pragmatism.

While being pragmatic is a noble objective, it only works when all sides are pragmatic, and fails when not.
Unfortunately, Third Way promotes negotiating in the middle, with what is mutually achievable.

The flaw with pragmatism is that if the Dems start at the 50 yard line, Republicans are entrenched in their end zone and are virtually immovable. This means that the best a Democrat could achieve is 50%, but during the negotiation process, a little extra give occurs and this slowly, which almost always benefits Republicans, and has been shifting politics towards the right over the past 20 years.
