Wow, you've got me there. Think you can provide 1 piece of evidence?
Let me re-state the premise you think is "nonsense":
That's why the Democratic establishment is against him, they dont want to end the wars or the corruption. They are supporting Warren because she wouldn't do those things. Pretty simple.
Third Way is a political influence organization, partly funded by the Koch brothers.
How can this be any more obvious? Koch brothers funded group calls Bernie and Warren existential threats, then after seeing her up close, they switched to endorse her. That doesn't make you think she's on their side? She's proposed a "green military" with ZERO talk of de-escalation, zero pushback against Israel's human rights abuses, zero pushback against US supporting famine in Yemen, she voted for the last military budget increase... she supports the military industrial complex, and supports health insurance companies deciding components of health care. She's beholden to corporate interests.
Yeah, she's gonna have such momentum to tackle climate change while simultaneously supporting over 50% of discretionary spending on foreign wars... gimme a break.
Now, are you going to post any kind of article or point? Your dismissiveness without evidence or an explanation is pretty lame.

The outreach to Third Way was far from the Kochs’ only effort to influence Democratic politics, although it has been more customary for the billionaire brothers to back Republicans. Koch Industries was also a member of the executive council of the Democratic Leadership Council, another centrist group aimed at countering progressives inside the party. Hall, whom Third Way thanked for conceiving and designing its report, was a member of the DLC’s event committee.
Third Way has continued to criticize progressive populists in recent years, particularly those who oppose free trade policies, including Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass, and Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., both of whom are 2020 presidential candidates Third Way leaders wrote an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal in 2013 attacking Warren and arguing she would take the party off a “populist cliff.” The authors claimed that “nothing would be more disastrous for Democrats” than to support Warren’s proposed economic reforms.
Earlier this year, as Warren rose in the polls of likely Democratic voters, the group changed its mind about her, arguing that Warren's policies are “manageable” because she “believes in capitalism.” The group has said it still views Sanders as an “existential threat.”
