TWM = Third-Way Manny
Third-wayers are the DLC/corporate Dems/conservadems etc... These Bern-out/Fauxcahontas worshippers consider Clinton to be too far right.
To Manny, the Dems haven't drifted far enough left yet, or as he would put it, they need to get back to their FDR roots. Of course, FDR would want nothing to do with the Manny's of the world if he were to come back. FDR would view the "third-way" as being too kooky left. All this is beyond Manny's ability to understand.
Where Manny runs into difficulty is that he can't really say what he believes on the island for fear of being booted. And not because of his beliefs, but rather for the same reason most of the primitives can't say what they wish; because the outside world would take note and attach it to the Dems and they would be exposed. They can't say what they truly believe or people won't vote for them.
Luckily for Manny and the other primitives, we can say over here what they aren't allowed to say on the island. We are more honest about what they believe and desire to accomplish than they are.
Manny wants a LW totalitarian dictatorship. Oh, he would never say that because of the reasons listed above, but he wants the USA to be the way he wants it to be, and if that means doing it with the iron fist of gov't at the point of a gun, he'd have no problem with that. He wants the federal gov't to be as big and strong as necessary to force the citizens to comply. Individualism must be eliminated and replaced with the correct form of collectivism. And they must be happy about it. This is all done under the guise of "the 99%." And Sanders is a step in that direction to Manny.
Look, if they got what they wanted and later on a portion of this "99%" were to come back and say "Hey, this isn't what we bargained for!", but it was going the way the Manny's of the world wanted them to go, he'd just as happily have them forced back into line.
Manny has big dreams. Manny doesn't stop to consider there's people out there like us who will stop him dead in his tracks. Key word being "dead."
