In reply to the discussion: Third Way Progressives, Screwing the Plebs [View all]bvar22
(39,909 posts)There is only ONE 3rd Way...and it is the Republican Lites and Democratic War Mongers, Republican Enablers, and protectors of Wall Street. Thy are actually reborn Reagan Trickle Downers who are afraid to raise taxes on the very Wealthy,
OR help the people at the bottom.
It is absurd to even attempt to hang the "3rd Way label" on anybody from the Progressive Caucus. The "3rd Way" label is OWNED by the Clintons and their machine.
"3rd Way" is a Republican-Lite organization specifically designed and funded to help conservative Democrats. It is foolish to try to stick that label on Liberal Democrats.
The DLC morphed into the 3rd Way when the name "DLC" picked up too many negatives,
but it is the same people who have been selling off the Common Wealth, privatizing everything in sight, destroying our Public Schools and stealing their money, support foreign WARS and bloated defense budgets, and torpedoing things that would help the Working Class like The Public Option.
I am uncertain if you motive is to intentionally distort what the 3rd Way really is,
and a failed attempt to tarnish good Liberal Democrats with this odious label....
or just a knowledge deficit of the history of the Democratic Party.
Do you know that the "3rd" way is an official organization that grew out of the DLC
which was partially funded by the Koch Brothers who had two voting members on the Executive Council of the DLC?
