I would bet everything that the author of that thread, @OliverStuenkel, favors keeping the centrist bureaucrat PT loyalists want gone. He's the "centrist analyst" the international media loves to quote as a "neutral" expert. But it's a quite accurate account of this conflict.🇧🇷 — PolitiTweet.org

To win Brazil's election, Lula constructed a very broad alliance including picking his long-time, center-right, pro-austerity rival as his Vice President, @geraldoalckmin. They intend to exercise power. Read this thread to see the kinds of important disputes about to happen. 👇 — PolitiTweet.org

@JAHenneberger Those aren't remotely in conflict. I was making a point about how the liberal-left weaponizes homophobia, as evidenced by that impersonation, not calling for censorship. Only the dumbest people in the world were led to believe those two tweets contradict one another. — PolitiTweet.org

@garylbrowning Thank you so much. That's incredibly beautiful and means a lot. ❤️ — PolitiTweet.org

Please watch this fiery video and remember that Katie Hobbs is now overseeing an extremely disputed and tight election in Arizona while at the same time being a candidate for Governor in what appears to be a very close race, all because she refused requests to recuse herself: — PolitiTweet.org

Sou muito grato pelo ótimo e árduo trabalho que a equipe de David em Brasília e no Rio continua a fazer para avançar e supervisionar seus projetos, com foco em renovação nas favelas do RJ, proteção aos trabalhadores e programas educacionais e culturais. https://t.co/6CwGRYd9xS — PolitiTweet.org

Mesmo hospitalizado, o trabalho que David fez continua a produzir benefícios: "O deputado federal David Miranda (PDT/RJ) incluiu no orçamento emenda que amplia os recursos da fiscalização do trabalho no RJ, com foco no combate ao trabalho escravo." https://t.co/wh3HgX0llg — PolitiTweet.org

(And, for the record, I'm still not as convinced that there won't be some more social unrest following Lula's win as he seems to be. And if Kari Lake loses, she's likely contest the legitimacy of the outcome. But yes, most of this media rhetoric was purposely unhinged). — PolitiTweet.org

Now that the election is over, all the insane, hysterical, maximalist fear-mongering bullshit about global impending doom and the immediate end of Democracy unless you vote for every banal Democratic Party candidate you can find can now be acknowledged as such: — PolitiTweet.org

@ThatsJacqueline Do you believe there was some nice, idyllic time when I used to love and ratify CIA claims about evil foreign villains and mindlessly cheer for the Dem Party? Are you really such a narcissist that you can't imagine people see the world differently than you absent bribery? — PolitiTweet.org

@wmcintyre84 I always said I never cared or knew much about crypto as an investment vehicle. What continues to interest me is the political potential of bitcoin specifically and blockchain generally to empower decentralization, anonymity and other liberatory values. https://t.co/kI5Q2YiN4q — PolitiTweet.org

@mesynsupreme @Ramanan_V Everyone in a "marginalized group" who ends up an enemy of liberal-left political factions says the same: they have never encountered brazen and explicit bigotry like what they get from those groups. The liberal/left believes they are too enlightened for their bigotry to be bad. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

SBF, the crypto billionaire whose entire scheme just crumbled, was a huge donor to Biden and the Dem Party. I guess if you want to blissfully believe this had nothing to do with the lack of scrutiny on his business, feel free. The irony is he might still get punished. Here's why: — PolitiTweet.org

@Ramanan_V These anti-gay attacks on me are 100% not just acceptable but the norm in those circles. They of course were never used until like 2 years ago when became an Official Enemy of various left-liberal sectors, but the minute that happened, the primary attacks are anti-gay ones. — PolitiTweet.org

(And as for the ID process: just outsource it to a well-regarded and secure third party to minimize the risk of hacking/doxing. No need for Twitter to keep or harvest that data. If you require basic proof of identity, you democratize blue checks without the impersonation problem) — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Ask any member of what US liberal/left calls "marginalized groups" who they view as heretics and they're tell you the same thing: They never hear bigoted attacks as viciously or continuously as from US liberals. It's fully accepted That's the @kurtbardella/JoyAnnReid lesson. https://t.co/Mdh0GNMGLr — PolitiTweet.org

As I've said before, I've warred with every faction during my journalism career: Bush/Cheney conservatives, neocons, the Brazilian right, the Brazilian left, UK establishment. The *only* faction that routinely deploys homophobic tropes against me is the US liberal/left. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There's a verified account using my name that is clearly a liberal: bashing me for insufficiently fealty to Dems. And it's basically nothing but a mountain of every sick anti-gay trope: fundraising for NAMBLA, seeking kids to date, poisoned my husband because he got too old etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Blue-checks for anyone is good for democratizing Twitter, but the solution is obvious: 1) require proof of identity and 2) name changes result its loss. Anonymity is crucial for the internet - not everyone can speak under their names - but blue checks can be for verified ID. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ROIforLIFE The chances are quite low GOP will take control of the Senate - possible but unlikely -- and their House gains are so anemic that there's still a chance they won't take that. It's highly likely they'll take the House but there's no denying it's disappointing given the context. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's amazing how quickly the press turns on someone when they lose. For years, Stacey Abrams was treated as a secular saint. But now that she lost again (this time by enough to prevent her election denialism), NYT spews criticisms and negative attacks. https://t.co/qx4fY0JMYa — PolitiTweet.org

Good news! In light of the relatively good outcome for Democrats in the 2022 midterms, there have been no claims about Russian interference in the election. Russia is accused of interfering in Our Democracy only when Democrats do not win. — PolitiTweet.org

@esqlegaleagle @mtaibbi @DavidSacks We're going to launch on Locals first for a couple of weeks of a test run, probably on Tuesday, and then launch the full show on Rumble a couple weeks after that. Just everything depends always on the health crisis in my family, but we're trying. — PolitiTweet.org

Here's the short video version of the above thread on the 2016 version of MAGA, and the fundamental similarities and deep cooperation between the establishment wings of both parties - from a June discussion I had with @mtaibbi and @DavidSacks in Miami: https://t.co/J2nAKlXX9f — PolitiTweet.org
