If you ask folks at Third Way, the centrist Democratic think tank, one of their party’s big challenges right now has a lot less to do with policy than with personnel: Pols like President Joe Biden win office by capturing the middle of the electorate, but then stock their administration with foot soldiers of the left.

these people are living in a fantasy land

“The center left tends to win at the ballot box, and then we’re outgunned the other 364 days of the year,” Communications Director Kate deGruyter told me. “And so we have to recognize that there’s an investment required in being able to make sure that the ideas that we see are popular, that are resonant with voters, are actually being carried out.”

I kind of want to beat these people to death with a hammer

The overwhelming majority of this country wants healthcare, is that what we’re referring to here? Or maaaaybe they’re talking about how ‘liberals’ (not leftists you fucking NATO loving clowns) always get bullied by conservatives?

“We’re ensuring that center-left Democrats have a seat at the table,” said Destine Hicks-Lundy, a former Biden White House staffer who joined the think tank last week to lead the initiative, which is part of a new effort known as the Moderate Power Project. “We’re making contact with every moderate Democrat that is interested.”

Added deGruyter: “They may not have a degree from an Ivy League institution, but they know how important it is to talk to voters in the middle about restoring order at the border and not to center your entire clean energy pitch on the climate benefits of EVs. As a group, these are people who understand how important it is for Democrats to hold the middle and would be critical advocates as decisions are being made to ensure that our ideas and messages will appeal to a broad coalition of voters.”

…this isn’t a joke? I ACTUALLY want to beat these people to death with a hammer.

“We’re ensuring that center-left Democrats have a seat at the table,”

Are you ACTUALLY this fucking stupid?? ‘Center left’ is how every one of you ‘electable’ shitweasels have described yourselves MY ENTIRE LIFE because you’re fucking pussies who don’t have the balls to admit you want to throw in with the KKK crowd, and you want to ‘seem cool’.

They may not have a degree from an Ivy League institution, but they know how important it is to talk to voters in the middle about restoring order at the border and not to center your entire clean energy pitch on the climate benefits of EVs

but they know how important it is to talk to voters in the middle about restoring order at the border and not to center your entire clean energy pitch

We’re so fucked lmao

Imagine seeing the catastrophe the US is and thinking “ok, but what if we told white suburbanites we’re willing to be racist at the expense of the future?”

I refuse to read the rest of this. All it’s telling me is that if liberals win, they’re going to stock every position they can with bloodless, PMC psychopaths that have been thoroughly vetted by the Democratic Party.

Oh, so they’re just skipping right past ‘home-growing your blue-fascists’, opting instead to go straight to ‘trying to cultivate the perfect strain of “insufferable liberal jackboot”’. The jackasses must have made their peace with never having even grudging support outta me and anyone like me again, huh.

Death to Amerika.

This is literally fascist triangulation. The MAGA/Tea Party/GOP contingent is rabid, they can’t actually control a fascist movement, but they can produce the terror campaigns and irregulars. It’s the Democrats/Blue Dogs/Liberals that will actually create and administer the domestic fascist movement and this is how. The rabids have been creating the opening for years now. The blues have been giving them space to operate. This group is now literally building Third Way fascism openly and threading the needle of public opinion to find the path to bring fascism out into the open with mass support.

We must provide a vanguard against actually doing anything of substance for the people.

We have to be “pragmatic” grow the fuck up you entitled little shits!

What if you had a leftist party to “compromise” and be “pragmatic” with instead of an increasingly reich wing party?

BUT MY BRIBES!

This is indistinguishable from a fascist operation. Truly. Imagine your most intellectual, philosophical, and committed fascists who truly believe in the supremacy of the white race, the supremacy of European “civilization”, who adore the Roman empire, and who are capable of bringing about a shift in the state towards global domination and industrialized genocide. Now imagine how they would win over the masses.

Is it truly any different than what this group is doing?
