In reply to the discussion: Why the DLC & Third Way Are "Freaked Out" About Bernie [View all]sorechasm
(631 posts)18. The Third Way wants no labels because they would so obviously be labelled as Republicans.
What Democratic organization is afraid to reveal their source of funding? Why would one funding source control both the GOP and the DLC? So they can pull all the levers?
Any wonder why Hillary is so non-committal on liberal causes until a cause might run away with a loss of votes (when she borrows Bernie's or Elizabeth's platform)? Could it be that she wants our votes, but not our compassion nor ideas, nor concerns, or burdens? Is Hillary dedicated to saving the middle class or the lower class? She did wag her finger at NASDAC. I guess she feels that's all we deserve.

We have a lot of work to do to fight the media oligopoly and get the truth out!

Exactly right. The populace tends to favor liberal policies, as long as they aren't termed liberal.

That is probably because the left is partly made up of too many groups

To realy undestand manufactured consent, you'll want to look up the book from Noam Chomsky.

There are even trolls on this site that claim that the Third-Way doesn't even exist
