    “[E]xtreme far-left voices gaining purchase over the past year … represent a sharp break from a traditional left wing in American politics,” the July 23 email says. This break, the email continues, has led to the rise of a faction that is both “radical” and “illiberal”

    Oh no, not illiberal! [clutches pearls]

      represent a sharp break from a traditional left wing in American politics

      Abraham Lincoln literally waged a war against the Southern aristocracy and these guys are complaining about Mamdani opening some grocery stores.

    Fucking neolibs with a boner for Reaganomics.

    From Wikipedia:

    The majority of the think tank’s funding comes from individuals with close ties to the banking industry and its board of trustees consists mostly of investment bankers. Political commentator and Bernie Sanders campaign official David Sirota suggested that the think tank’s initiatives to combat Social Security expansion despite popular sentiment is because it would cause trustees of the think tank to pay higher taxes. Hunter of Daily Kos suggested Third Way’s ties to the banking industry is the reason for its opposition to Senator Elizabeth Warren’s platform of Wall Street reform. Investigative journalist Lee Fang of The Nation alleges the think tank’s ties to the Democratic Party are “tenuous” and that it exists to serve as a vehicle for corporate and right-wing interests to shape the economic policies of the party. Writing in The Intercept, Akela Lacy describes Third Way as a “center-left, corporate and GOP donor-funded nonprofit”, which advocates for neoliberal policies and is staunchly opposed to Medicare for All.

    Burn it down.

    Left wing moves more left.

    Both parties: OMG WE NEED TO STOP THIS!

    Reich wing becomes literally fascist and forms a borderline autocracy

    Both parties: ehh… Some bad eggs out there have bad views but it’s their right.
