What's wrong with 3rd way advocacy?

85. Can't answer that, other than this, for a while, on many Dem forums, they WERE able

to drive off Democrats, some of the biggest Dem sites' owners, one in particular I am thinking of, first roped in Libs during the early Bush years, then filled the website with these DLC operatives who spent their time attacking the LEFT. That was a shock to many Dems but over time people began to figure it out. It was a big awakening for many Dems who frequented that site, to see it actually happening, the attacks on the Left FROM the so-called Left. Some of the attackers had been posing as 'ordinary' citizens, but eventually were revealed to be political operatives, as many had suspected and managed to get banned for suggesting it.

I was pretty naive up to that point frankly, but watching one of the 'premier Liberal' sites in action opened a lot of peoples' eyes quite a bit as they watched some of the nastiest people online get patted on the back by the owner of the site, while good Dems were being 'purged' by the thousands.

Something must have happened however, because that same site has done a complete about turn and now appears to be totally opposed to the same thugs he so defended. I suppose he should have guessed that if they will do what they do to others, they will do it to you too.
