(62,325 posts)Party. They are Corporatists, Privatizers, Profit Driven for the private sector, war mongers, they call themselves 'pragmatists', but in reality they are Right Wingers who support or are not particularly interested one way or the other, in a few Social issues, such as abortion eg. That fools democrats, and is intended to, into thinking they actually are democrats.
All one has to do is read the history of the Third Way, how it came to infiltrate the Dem Party and what their goals to answer your question. They despise Social Security and all other successful programs of the New Deal. They are 'd' in name only.
Now that we finally figured it out, it is really up to us to oust them from our party and send them back to where they would be far more comfortable. They HAVE a party, our tent was not meant to include those who have a tent of their own.
