Third way Progressive Democrats, Not Awesome

Are you third way on racial and social justice? Do you find yourself bargaining with the social freedom and equality of Blacks, Women, LGBTs, or any other marginalized group in favor of your own economic security and upward mobility? Do you place economic justice above social and racial justice? Do you say with your mouth that you care about it all but only ever focus on the economic side of things?

If you answered 'Yes' to these questions, congratulations, you are a Third Way Democrat on social justice. Your position on social justice places you to the right of most democrats in many ways. As economic equality cannot be achieved with the oppressive structural racism and sexism, your position is that your economic primacy is more important than achieving fairness for all. You are willing to allow the oppressed and downtrodden to continue living in a disaster zone, quietly ignored, as you promise them dreams of a few bucks for themselves and a lotta bucks for yourself if only they are not divisive. Divisive to third way social justice democrats means bringing up the unfairness inherent in the system and the fact that they would benefit much more than you from 'economic equality'.

What is economic equality that lacks fairness and equal distribution? It is called 'The Status Quo'. So, if you find yourself calling black folks race baiters or naggers or SS victims and women loud and obnoxious for bringing up sexism, you are a right wing third way democrat.

So, this primary season, please don't be a third way anti human selfish third way democrat, be a progressive in truth, move left! Our future depends on righting the wrongs of Ronald Reagan and all of the people who voted for him and destroyed this nation!!!
