Manny isn't a political cause. Accusing someone of being Third Way because they don't like trashing Democratic candidates and Democratic voters 24/ 7 is intellectually dishonest. You throw around the term Third Way with no sense of its meaning, simply to insult people who disagree on anything. How is it that people who claim to be so leftist spend most of their time attacking ordinary working Americans rather than the powerful? How can you claim to be leftier than thou when you devote yourselves to demonizing the very same people that the GOP targets? I'm not seeing any signs of leftism here. I don't see critiques of capital. I see people who have a great deal of resentment toward ordinary working Americans, often less advantaged than themselves.
Then there is the fact you didn't even bother to read the poster's point but just posted the same links you always do regardless of the post in question. His post was favorable of Sanders. Yet that wasn't enough to satisfy you because the poster failed to express contempt for ordinary Democratic voters, the true enemy.
I hope to God Sanders doesn't let any of you near his campaign or he is sunk. Voters don't respond well to being insulted and treated with contempt, and that is all some of you ever do. Government for the upper 10 percent is not leftist. It isn't even left enough to be considered Third Way. It's just bourgeois elitism, and offers most of us nothing more than government for the .01 percent. If Sanders wins, it will be despite your crowd who appears to be doing everything in its power to alienate as many voters as possible.
It's looking increasingly to me that what some on DU are engaged in is the great and noble struggle of the upper 10 percent against the 1 percent, while the rest of us are the enemy.
