Oh, yeah.

And they said, we – Democrats need to stop listening to groups and they need to stop responding to questionnaires.

They said no more NGOs, no more, you know, Sunrise Movement, no more pro-trans activism.

They basically were demanding that the Democrats do exactly what they've done, right?

Go to the right, concede on culture war issues.

And do not compromise an inch to your left flank on left economic populism.

God forbid we do that.

We cannot do that.

No Medicare for all.

Don't you dare say that.

No anti-billionaire sentiment.

Don't you dare say that.

Just talk about how we will be the lighter version of MAGA.

Now, this has been an abject failure so far because that's precisely what the National Democratic Party has done for decades at this point with Third Way leading the helm.

But they very openly said they were amassing a war chest to combat the AOC flank of the party.

which is really interesting because she's one of the most popular Democrats right now.

And I guess in an effort to continue that battle against the left flank insurgency that is rising up in the ranks all around the country, Third Way decided to punish a very prominent critic of Israel, a prominent media figure, myself, on the left, right?

It was a disciplining operation, but it backfired spectacularly on them.

And I think Mallory McMorrow leaned into it.

So, when Abdul lit me up and was like, oh, you want to stump, you want to go on a campaign rally?
