107. O'Mally is not a Third Way politician. THIS is a Third Way sentiment, directed also at Eliabeth

Warren. The pattern of this think thank's personnel is abundantly clear, they have made it clear. Which is why their candidates of choice are being rejected by the voters, see the two last midterms, and will continue to be rejected and replaced wherever possible with actual progressive Democrats, as has been done now, starting at the local and state level.

The Dem Party is OUR party, not the party of a bunch of Wall St Investors, which is what the Third Way is.

Thankfully the problem with our party has been identified and is being addressed now by voters across the country.

This guy needs to be removed instantly from his position.

Shades of Rahm, another Third Way 'democrat' who has little use for progressives, which is too bad because we're here and we're not going anywhere.
