Clinton Supporters: Should she follow Third Way's order to reject The Left and move to the Right? [View all]

[Armstead]

The Third Way has issued a warning and order for Clinton to reject the "economic populism of the left" and move back to pro-business "center" as they define it. I've got a simple -- policy and message oriented -- question, especially for supporters of Clinton, who has long ties to the Third Way conservative faction of the Democratic Party.

There have been several links to these articles on other OP's, with comments, so I won't repost here, except one excerpt. Two of the other threads are here, for more background:

In essence, the Third Way is warning Clinton to reject the "left-wing populism" she has adopted in the primary, and go back to more conservative, business oriented policies. That means "pro-business, pro-growth policies" like we've had for 30 years. The main reason Americans are struggling is lack of training for the jobs of the 21st Century they say. It rejects the idea that business is culpable.

They also don't like the namby-pamby association with "victims" (and that could be considered code.)

“Economic populism,” Daley said, dwells too much on “either to blame, make somebody a victim, blame somebody who’s been successful or blame business, or blame the government.”


So I've got a simple question, especially to supporters of Clinton. Are you in favor of this call for Clinton to reject the "left wing populist tone" she has adopted recently, and return to the conservative mold of the Third Way?
