“We will be the chief opponent of the left in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary,” the organization’s president, Jon Cowan, recently pledged. Asked to define the kind of lefty candidates Third Way doesn’t like, he pinpointed pols who “are for Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, abolishing ICE, open borders.”

lmao Third Way is pro-ICE

i mean i already know that they are but i wasn't sure that they openly admit it

Against universal healthcare

Against green energy

Pro ICE

Wants to further restrict immigration

"We're centre-left btw"

Why the hell are any establishment Democratic politicians even entertaining Third Way if these are their policy goals? What significant voter demographic in the Democratic coalition even holds these views? Never-Trump Republicans? Frankly I think the Leftists they're fighting with are more in touch with the Democratic base at this point.
