ThirdWay

Third Way is a Washington, D.C.-based public policy think tank founded in 2005.[3] It develops and advocates for policies that it says represent "modern center-left ideas".[4] It is described as a centrist think tank for moderate Democrats,[5] while critics see it as neoliberal[6] and “the turning point in which… parties abandoned their traditional tenets and working-class constituencies in favor of… Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan.”... In its review of the 2016 and 2020 elections, authored alongside The Collective PAC and Latino Victory Fund, Third Way called for the Democratic Party to focus on becoming the Jobs Party to voters... The majority of the think tank's funding comes from individuals with close ties to the banking industry and its board of trustees consists mostly of investment bankers... In 2017, the Third Way think tank conducted a listening tour in rural Wisconsin as part of its research to understand the results of the 2016 U.S. presidential election. This tour was the focus of an article in The Atlantic, where reporter Molly Ball observed many focus group participants expressing strongly politically partisan views that challenged Third Way's ideology that political partisanship was not most people's primary concern... An eighty-minute call organized by Third Way, with recording obtained by Semafor, detailed the Third Way's effort to suppress third-party candidates or groups who support them and their ballot access for the 2024 U.S. presidential election. The call included plans to threaten donors and potential candidates of repercussions should they get involved with or support third party groups or candidates seeking ballot access. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Way_(United_States)
