(32,139 posts)This will be my last kick to this Third Way talking point thread, but your post needs to be corrected.
We are not talking about "big tents." We are talking about monied corruption of our democracy.
The Third Way does not represent a different part of America. The Third Way represents Wall Street. That is the problem we face: the corruption of representative government of The People by corporate money flooding Washington. It is corporations buying policy.
The DLC, the Third Way...whatever slimy attempt at rebranding they are using these days....was *never* a grass roots movement. It was a planned and deliberate infiltration of the Democratic Party by Wall Street using corporate money, with the explicit goal of transferring the loyalty of the party from voters to Wall Street donors.
We aren't battling other Americans in a healthy democratic process here. The Third Way (and its propaganda machine) is a symptom of the CORRUPTION of our government....its subversion away from a representative system, representation of the interests of the people....into oligarchy, the PURCHASE of supposedly democratic, representative government by a monied elite.
When the DLC connections to the Koch Bros. became well known, they just rebranded the infiltration
