What's wrong with 3rd way advocacy?

[Number23]

19. You simply could not have nailed that any harder

It used to be the DLC or the DSCC or somebody that was the Boogedy Man around here. The last few years though, we've heard the endless (and BEYOND idiotic) screeching of THIRD WAY!! THIRD WAY!! as though this poorly heard of, remarkably unremarkable group is some amalgam of Count Dracula, Lord Voldemort and Santa Claus. Always there, always watching, always doing something evil, and it seems its main goal is keeping good liberals off of the ballot. I had never even heard of the Third Way until it became the Slender Man of DU a few years ago. The most I'd ever heard of anything they'd ACTUALLY done was when they posted a really stupid editorial about Elizabeth Warren in either the NYTimes or the Washington Post. And that was about a year ago.

As if the United States of America, including the numerous conservative states which comprise the union, would have put Kucinich in as president in a New York minute if only the THIRD WAY!! THIRD WAY!!! didn't exist. Good God. Either some folks are paranoid, uninformed and supremely divorced from reality, or as I have LONG since suspected, they have just simply GOT to be YANKING OUR CHAINS.

Lose an election? THIRD WAY!!!

Preferred candidate doesn't get nominated? THIRD WAY!!!

Pollls show no support for your idea? THIRD WAY!!!

People saying stuff you don't like on a Democratic website? THIRD WAY !!!!111

You nailed it.
