Slop.

"abolish ice" is the compromise position

What bothers me about this isn’t Third Way adopting a weaselly triangulation that appeals to no one. That’s a “fork found in kitchen” situation.

No, it’s this:

Third Way, in a memo to Democrats shared first with NBCNews

Putting the thinnest, slimiest veneer of journalism on what is just PR boosting. There’s no news here, nothing of importance, just some lanyards’ opinion being laundered as news; the headline doesn’t identify who is warning, giving the impression of this being a general sentiment, and the body fails to make clear the political bias of the group in question.

GTA: Vice City is a full year older than the formation of ICE. The Nintendo GameCube predates both ICE and the DHS. Liberals act like our nazi agencies are these eternal pillars of American society and yet have barely existed a few decades.

Yes I date things according to video games get off my case

i hate how for liberals, pushing back against fascists is always "exactly what they want don't do it"

Anyone could win a primary at this point by going up the stage and saying "Fuck ICE and Fuck Israel" and simply leaving, at this point your throwing if this isn't your starter position

Reactionary reformism, you love to see it.

"We can't get rid of the president's private unaccountable personal army, that would negate the political incentive to make it slightly better"

Utter derangement

I agree

The slogan should be "imprison ICE"

we're doing the meme

edit: fuckin image resize nonsense

Throw these people off the fucking rooftops please I'm done reading this shit

When Biden took over, the concentration camps became holding facilities. What will these thugs become when the next blue fucker comes along?

Why the fuck would they call themselves third way? Thats the name of a Nazi party where I live. Couldnt get more subtle than that, huh?

Wait. If this is the case, then wouldn't the two political parties behave like a ratcheting system? The Republicans push it forward and the Democrats prevent backflow? Has anyone ever noticed this? Perhaps someone has said something before the 2020 election or whatever? 2024 election? Please! I'm a serious adult political party that pays millions and millions of dollars for insights for political campaigns.

Don't bother telling me if you didn't go to Harvard or USC or something though

Republicans warned to steer clear of the 'abolish slavery' slogan

Republicans need to drop the “abolish slavery” political slogan if they have hope of winning back the majority in Congress, a center-left think tank is warning.

Third Way, in a memo to Republicans shared first with NBCNews, warned Republicans against talking in extreme terms in the wake of the highly charged days following the execution of John Brown.

“The impulse is emotional. The slogan is simple. But politically, it is lethal,” a memo written by Sarah Pierce and Lanae Erickson, leaders in social policy for Third Way. “Every call to abolish slavery risks squandering one of the clearest opportunities in years to secure meaningful reform of agricultural labor — while handing Democrats exactly the fight they want.”

if you sent the modern Democratic Party back to the 1860s and subbed out the 1860s Republican Party, the resultant party system would ardently uphold the sanctity of the institution of chattel slavery. not even in a 13th Amendment exception way. it would just remain unapologetically legal.

Abolish ICE is a pretty mainstream liberal opinion, or at least it is now for the libs in e.g. the Twin Cities who have seen ICE goons doing all sorts of heinous shit over the last few weeks

Isn't "third way" a euphemism for fascism??? Kinda telling on themselves

What a bunch of pathetic losers

emotional: seeking to disband and demobilize the Gestapo to prevent further harm.

rational public policy to protect: extrajudicial executions carried out in the streets by the Gestapo as they scream in white nationalist rage.

Democrats need to move right of the GOP if they have any hope of winning. Once they've done that and they've won then they can abandon their campaign promises and do nothing for 2 years, get slammed in the midterms, spend 2 more years capitulating to the now right wing legislature, and then lose the presidency to an even more far right version of the GOP.

Sweaty this isn't complicated you just have to vote and this is the outcome you'll get. I know it's not perfect but it's the best we can do right now

Billionaires funding think tank want to maintain control, more news at 11

Let's do the thing that hasn't worked the past 26 years again! We need it in order to win back ~~our big corporate donors~~ median voters!

Okay how about “abolish trump’s personal paramilitary” does that work? If we Cheeto man bad can we get the libs on board?

Christ these people are more stubborn than a cat fighting to take medicine

Oh who am I kidding this dipshit is paid to either think this way or because they already think this way

I'm very happy that our enemies are this stupid.

Sarah Pierce and Lanae Erickson, face the fucking wall

Thinktank name: Third Way

They're giving the game away. They're overplaying their hand here.

I'm mean. No no. This is totally convincing. I am convinced. Man capitalism sucks. I wish there was some sort of third way. Oh wow look at that, some think tank here is sure convincing me of how to do that!

"We must protect the outcomes of the George W Bush administration"

Where was this reform the last four years then? I swear these journalists are the vilest scum suckers.

center my left nut

😤

Somehow this installs hope in me that the U.S. will crash fast and not have another few terms of demorats policy of "absolute status quo" (not sure how to describe their desperate attempts to milk their people dry without hyper speeding the decline).
