Well, in theory there could be a progressive who only cares about economics jfern Oct 2015 #1
Such posters are pro Hillary and there is no amount of facts we can present to change their minds. JRLeft Oct 2015 #3
Don't forget, Bernie also has a 100% rating from the NAACP Art_from_Ark Oct 2015 #8
They're trying everything possible to make their Third Way selves look better in_cog_ni_to Oct 2015 #2
I presented such poster of the thread with facts and the poster said I don't believe that. JRLeft Oct 2015 #6

Facts don't deter those who are trying desperately to protect and defend the indefensible. sabrina 1 Oct 2015 #13
It's a complete joke and ridiculous post made by someone who isn't serious. JRLeft Oct 2015 #14
Yep. It's ridiculously obvious. Nt. Juicy_Bellows Oct 2015 #15

She'll be a moderate republican like the rest of the Wall Street side of the party. JRLeft Oct 2015 #10
Yep. With a considerably higher level of neo-con hifiguy Oct 2015 #37

Then what would you call someone progressive on economics Chitown Kev Oct 2015 #19
Not Third Way. The Third Way is a group of investors and ex-Clinton administration JRLeft Oct 2015 #20
I see you couldn't answer the question. leftofcool Oct 2015 #21
No it's a think tank, Wall Streeters who've taken control of the party. JRLeft Oct 2015 #29

And how exactly would improving everyone's economic situation hurt social justice? Armstead Oct 2015 #49
Because it would improve yours more than mine giving you extra power over me. bravenak Oct 2015 #52
