The DLC Lives: "Third Way" Democrats Are Trying to Push the Party Rightward

This article clearly demonstrates the Democratic Party is hopelessly incapable of representing the 99 percent. Any attempt to change it is futile. This is why I think Bernie Sanders is mistaken. He will never win the nomination of a party that has in effect become a new Republican Party:

Now, as Democrats face an existential crisis in the aftermath of the election of Donald Trump, these fundamentally conservative organizations, armed with millions in corporate donations, are working with a renewed aggressiveness in the public sphere. They are attempting to convince the party to shun its base and further embrace the so-called "vital center," and the corporatism that has long defined these groups.

If Third Way succeeds, the Democrats will leave an opening for right-wing "populism" to thrive long after the Trump presidency. If this happens, Americans will increasingly (and correctly) see Democrats as a party run by the establishment, and serving the interests of its donors, rather than the working class. This is why progressive activists are fighting hard to rid the party of Democrats who embrace this agenda.
