88. People should stop trying to make Third Way happen. It's conferences by boring people that nobody cares about

and I only see anybody trying to make it into some kind of threat here. Is the big threat being bored to death? Just a chance to say "neoliberal" as an meaningless insult and insinuate the majority of the Democratic Party are out to neoliberal everybody with speeches? To get people not to vote Democratic it has to be scary, not boring!
