'Cause a Third Party is the masturbatory fantasy of every two-bit Both
Siderist hack.
Yesterday I went through all the trouble of transcribing the Both Siderist owl
pellets that Bill Galston is being paid to hark up for one of the
Bulwark's podcasts from last week (Both Sides Don't :Part Infinity.)
Well guess what? Today they turned that exact transcribed sliver of an
tedious hour-long podcast into a Bulwark column and put it on Front
Street:
The Two Parties: Rotten Oaks?Is there room for a third-party challenge in 2024?
Because after all these years I have a pretty good ear ear for locating Both
Siderist razor (from me
yesterday) --
Bill Galston: Yeah it's quite simple. A rematch between Joe Biden and, uh, Donald Trump would bring together in one election two of the most unpopular candidates in recent memory. And I know for a fact, although i'm not at liberty to name names, that serious elected officials in both political parties [Ed. You just know he's talking about Joe Manchin, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger] are considering this option seriously. Now whether it's a good idea or not is a different question altogether, but there is discontent in the Center with a choice between a Trumpified Republican party on one hand and a Democratic party that seems to have lost its ability to put the Left wing of the party in its place rather than yielding to it on a regular basis. So there is an opening what would happen if someone moved to fill it is an interesting and somewhat imponderable question...

The centrist, Both Siderist credo.
"... a Democratic party that seems to have lost its ability to put the left-wing of the party in its place, rather than yielding to it on a regular basis ..."
No citations, of course. It "seems" to be true, and that's good enough for someone whose ideas (see above) don't actually have to be good.
Maybe they've been reading Elon's cartoons too much?

One of these days one of these mooks is going to have to answer the question and explain, "In what way(s) has the Democratic Party 'yield[ed]' to its Left wing'?"
Then, when there is no answer, said mook is going to have to answer the question and explain why they made that claim.
