THIS is the war they are going to spend money on? Infighting??? Exactly why they are widely perceived as out of touch and ineffectual!

NYT wanted to write a story about "moderate Dems go to war with DSA," looked around, and the best they could find was a *proposal* by Third Way to spend $15M against left candidates. The story is not evidence that *Democrats* and the left hate each other... it's evidence that the NYT hates both.

This is just pathetic, Shane. The most obvious wishcasting since I predicted Kevin Durant would play for the Wizards

Red Scares won't change the minds of anyone under 60. Young people have seen rapacious US capitalism with their own eyes. It leads to hopelessness, drug addiction, a few billionaires and a million homeless. They want a fairer system.

Third Way is explicitly NOT a Democratic Party group — THIRD WAY. They are positioned between Trump and the Dems. The framing of Third Way as Dems in Disarray is wrongheaded and reeks of animus to the actual Democratic Party position which has firmly aligned behind El Sayed.

Ds have already lost. The DSA will take the Democratic Party by storm as the D’s continue their losses & Uniparty, accommodative stances. To survive it will need, “money, lots of money” and its platform accepted and candidates elected by the great Middle. GLWT! Yes, DSA wins, but inherits ashes.

The article itself is fine, the headline is beyond ludicrous. One guy, spending a quarter of what centrists just flushed down the toilet in Michigan, isn't a "war" on socialism. It's a last gasp. The true headline? "Centrists are Blockbuster. Socialists are Netflix." But NYT is gonna NYT.

🤑 Follow the money..⏬ "Founded in 2005, Third Way has long nudged the Democratic Party toward market-friendly policies, backing corporate-shaped proposals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership while opposing measures like Medicare for All that threaten insurance profits.." ⏬ shorturl.at/NUSjd

The New York times seems completely oblivious to the fact that the left right spectrum no longer exists. They continue to try to shoehorn everything into this no longer existing idea. I'm a Republican but I support socialists because they're the only capitalists left!

you would declare war on your own party before you fought the fascists to your right.
