15. The point of the group is to end the takeover of the Dem Party by Corporate

Interests which has been underway with the infiltration of the party by the DLC, now the Third Way fior decades and return it to the control of the People who it claims to represent.

I wouldn't call targeting the Third Way in any way possible to be reactionary. THAT is what we have been doing for a couple of decades now. Merely reacting to the damage they have done.

Openly reacting to them now, taking the OFFENSIVE is necessary.

Their goal is to end the New Deal Social Programs and turn them all into Privately controlled programs and they have SUCCEEDED in doing that to a frightening extent.

Therefore it is necessary to openly challenge them, to expose them to voters for what they are.

As you can see, the reaction to their policies in this last election by Dems was not to vote at all. They KNOW something is wrong, but many are not aware of what is causing it.

The demonization of Democratic Social Programs USED to be the work of the far right, but now we have it happening right within the Dem Party itself due to the efforts of the Third Way.

I pointed out how angry they get when people talk about the New Deal Programs in a positive way only to show how determined they are to denigrate social safety nets that have been the hallmark of the Dem Party.

I see nothing reactionary about identifying the problems we face and then targeting them.

It is not reactionary to take the offensive for a change, something voters have been encouraged not to do.

And doing so doesn't preclude using many other tactics to make sure it is actual Dems who are reaching the voters rather than the Third Way which is nothing more than a Think Tank embedded in the Dem Party as a front for Wall St interests.
