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.

* Dismissive wanking gesture *

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.

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!

not a subscriber but got a free version to read the comments. They were universally hostile to the idea that so-called moderates are going to war against so-called far left when we are marching towards fascism. And the author ignored all of it, again tried to squish it into fake L/R spectrum.

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.

FDR saved capitalism from revolution. Dems need to revisit how he did it.

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

listen to third way founder Jonathan Cowan flounder in a discussion with Daniel Denvir on Brian Lehrer earlier this year. Pathetically committed to the losing cause of corporate, warmongering establishment democrats www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/bl/...

Should Democrats Appear With Hasan Piker? | The Brian Lehrer Show | WNYC StudiosControversial Twitch streamer Hasan Piker has become a litmus test for Democrats. Third Way's Jonathan Cowan and Jacobin's Daniel Denvir debate Piker's statements his place in the party.www.wnycstudios.org

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.

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

Third way is not a Democratic Party group group. 1. Trump and the GOP 2. Democrats 3. Third Way (corporate money joined to fight popular / left-populist policies)

🤑 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

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.

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

Maybe they should try fighting the fascists at some point

BTW, THEY ARE NOT MODERATE... 😉
