From one desperate Third Way talking point to the next. And now the old standby: this absurd claim that anything other than corporate policy is too "left" or "fringe" for the electorate.

This gets very, very old.

As you already know but persist in ignoring, polls consistently and repeatedly show that that the electorate is far more in agreement with Bernie Sanders on the major issues than the corporate candidates we are offered, over and over again. Across party lines, voters favor protecting SS and Medicare, they despise austerity, they want to curb the surveillance state, they want to invest in schools and infrastructure, and they want to cut military spending.

And the proof of the lie is that candidates pivot LEFTWARD every single election season to win voters. They lie and say that they will support a public option, or protect Social Security, or rein in the NSA, because they know that is what voters want to hear. But as soon as the election is over, it's back to the business of the one percent.

The Tea Party is bankrolled by big business. So is the Third Way. The Third Way was never a grass roots phenomenon. It is a deliberate infiltration of the Democratic Party, bankrolled by corporate interests.

We have a systemic problem of corporate money driving policy in both parties now. That is what happens when corporations buy elections. And ABSURD posts like the one you just made are what happens when corporations buy the media.
