2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: In 2012 Third Way was promoting Martin O'Malley as a "hot prospect" [View all]I will speak only for myself, but I am sick and tired of the Third Way neo-liberalism that has poisoned the Democratic party.
Fine. O'Malley supposedly distanced himself for the Third Way in 2002. Yet in 2011 and 2012 he was smiling pretty for photo ops at forums, one of which was pushing him as a candidate for president in 2016.
The Third Way is hardly going to promote someone if they do not think that politician aligns with their political ideals.
So which is it? Is he lying? Is he just pandering to whoever will support him in his bid for president? Another explanation?
Given the issues caused by Third Way neo-liberalism in both the Clinton and Obama presidencies, it is a very fair question to ask of O'Malley.
I am not scared. I am angry.
