Losing the Plot: The “Leftists” Who Turn Right
What do we make of former friends who fell down the rabbit hole of the Right?
Hi! Do you think Tucker Carlson “has a point”? Do think Platner platforming Holocaust deniers isn’t really a big deal? Do you think the “Epstein class” is short for “good w/ $$”? Well, my pal @kathrynajoyce.bsky.social and I wrote an article just for you! inthesetimes.com/article/form...

I did not share the original story because my gut was that the sourcing was dubious. Someone who knows more about the sole source confirms that skepticism. Don't fall for clickbait, read the piece linked below.
(If the story is confirmed by other outlets, that's another thing. But ... it's not)

Q: How do you define lefty versus moderate?
A: Some of it is on policy. If you are for Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, abolishing ICE, open borders, you're a lefty. And those things will really haunt you in a general election. Who do you appeal to? What's your brand and approach in politics? Are you more pragmatic? Do you have an unabashed love of the country? [Or] are you kind of hypercritical of America? Are you willing to pick a range of fights, not just the fights that are really safe and convenient? What's your track record, also, with winning over swing voters?
Q: Who stands out to you so far as most willing to lean in on tough fights?
A: Josh Shapiro has had some pretty significant fights. Shapiro has been willing to take on the teachers' unions in specific instances. Gavin Newsom is trying to defeat the billionaire's tax. That's a huge fight inside the Democratic Party, and that's actually pretty gutsy of him.
Ruben Gallego took some pretty strong stands on immigration. Obviously, Rahm [Emanuell is the one who's most unleashed right now. But there's a range of folks.
Q: Will Third Way endorse in 2028?
A: We will be the chief opponent of the left in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary, and we'll be working both sides: Make the moderate lane as deep and as wide as possible, and really challenge the lefties. We will not endorse anybody.
the media loves nothing more than fluffing garbage “moderate democratic” groups like third way
