Centrists Fear Socialist Wins in Swing States Will Lead to a DSA President in 2028

Third Way, the “centrist” (read: right-wing) group of Democrats fighting the left’s takeover of the Party, announced its plan to spend $15 million between now and 2028 to sabotage the socialist movement using opposition research and “social media programs.” They launched this effort following Abdul El-Sayed’s victory in Michigan. Jonathan Cowan of Third Way admitted that if socialists can win in swing states like Michigan and Wisconsin, there’s a high likelihood a DSA candidate will win the Democratic Party’s presidential primary in 2028. In this video we’ll talk about potential tactics they might deploy to undermine and infiltrate the left.
