From Wikipedia:
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. Political commentator and Bernie Sanders campaign official David Sirota suggested that the think tank's initiatives to combat Social Security expansion despite popular sentiment is because it would cause trustees of the think tank to pay higher taxes. Hunter of Daily Kos suggested Third Way's ties to the banking industry is the reason for its opposition to Senator Elizabeth Warren's platform of Wall Street reform. Investigative journalist Lee Fang of The Nation alleges the think tank's ties to the Democratic Party are "tenuous" and that it exists to serve as a vehicle for corporate and right-wing interests to shape the economic policies of the party. Writing in The Intercept, Akela Lacy describes Third Way as a "center-left, corporate and GOP donor-funded nonprofit", which advocates for neoliberal policies and is staunchly opposed to Medicare for All.

Gateway politics. If they let them get away with this kind of public service, who knows what's next?
Are they calling Mamdani extreme?
Top democrats are the extremists that support the genocide in Palestine
"Uncle" Democrats?
Ah, original was "tio Democrats". 😆
Calling "Third Way" a top Democratic Organization is a stretch.
The most polite thing you could say about them is they're well funded, really.
They misspelled Reich
