(20,709 posts)I do think a line is crossed when Dem-aligned groups take money from wealthy Republican donors and use that money to advocate for things like Social Security cuts. I'm not challenging that they are still Democrats, I'm just saying that I don't think that's a good thing to have wealthy Republican donors participate in our internal Dem debate about where the party should go.
And I think that other people, too, should be aware, when they read something by Third Way, that they are reading something by a person getting paid in order to attack progressive policies and goals. If they didn't attack progressives, those people would get fired. It's their job.
Anyone can make up their own mind as to whether they want to listen to people dedicated to cutting Social Security about primary choices. I'm aware that some Dems want to cut Social Security, and I don't want to purity-test them out of the party.
Just that everyone should know who is who.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
