@sunsetrs @ericzachary1977 For awhile, "the left" in the US - to the extent it existed - meant being a Bernie follower. But in 2020, Bernie told them all their highest duty was to fall into line as Dems. He got the Chair of the Budget Committee for it. Now they're lost: basically just Dems, but resentful. — PolitiTweet.org

@ericzachary1977 People have been claiming that I'm moving right or whatever long before I left the Intercept. The number one highest-earner on Substack - by far - is a history professor who writes every day about the evils of Trump and the GOP. She makes millions. That's how people get rich. — PolitiTweet.org

@NashvilleGal80 If you look at polling data, you'll see that's not the case, and that's precisely why liberals are increasingly so angry toward members of marginalized groups. They think they're entitled to this servitude and they no longer have it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ericzachary1977 I don't claim to have left anything. About six hours ago, I wrote a thread about how Jeremy Corbyn is one of the most unfairly vilified people in all of politics. People like you just get confused by those who don't plant themselves in one corner and just stay there. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MrWestCoastCat Yes, I know - neither party recognizes the splits and factions in the other. Democrats think everyone in the GOP except Liz Cheney are monolithic fascists, and Republicans think all Democrats are "the far left." She just means "Democrats." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ericzachary1977 People motivated by money would just stay smack dab in the middle of liberal politics, spending all day calling Trump a fascist, Nazi and Kremlin stooge. That -- along with branding as an AOC/Bernie cheerleader -- is where the money is, how media people have enriched themselves. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Few things are uglier than what liberals say and do toward members of the marginalized groups they believe they own when such individuals reject their decrees and pieties. They see it as a betrayal of what is rightfully theirs, and the bigotry they invoke as noble and earned. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Liberals really do believe they are so enlightened and evolved on social justice issues that they own all marginalized groups and the members of them, to the point they think they're entitled not just to lecture you about them but use bigoted tropes against those who reject them. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

At some point, as enough people point this out, even Democrats are going to have to recognize its truth. Nothing guarantees the violent unleashing of bigoted tropes like Democrats attacking a member of a marginalized group they believe they own, but who refuses to stay in line: — PolitiTweet.org

@f_f8008f_f @MrTherapyDog @nycsouthpaw You're very confused. It's harder to for public figures to win defamation cases but not impossible. It just takes actual malice: like publicly accusing a gay man of fucking children, all with no evidence. https://t.co/Zf1zFDLRYT — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Jason_April Half of Senate Democrats -- including the most powerful ones such as Kerry, Hillary and Biden -- voted to authorize the war in Iraq under Bush. People like Gaetz were demanding withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan under Trump. Trump started no new wars. I know it hurts to accept — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@pmauricea @MrTherapyDog @nycsouthpaw I think it's possible for liberals to criticize gay men who "antagonize" them without reliance on the age-old tropes of gay men as pedophiles and predators -- especially since they claim only conservatives do this -- but liberals think they own everyone in marginalized groups. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@f_f8008f_f @MrTherapyDog @nycsouthpaw Yes, I would absolutely sue into complete oblivion anyone who uses age-old tropes against me and my husband by accusing me of pedophilia. No 1st Am absolutists, including the ACLU, thinks defamation is free speech. Unfortunately, only anonymous liberal cowards spread this. — PolitiTweet.org

@tomvonclef @nickgillespie @reason @TuckerCarlson You're using a screenshot of a tweet that is ripped from its context of a long thread because you copied it from a person who is a lying smear artist and did it deliberately, and you're too lazy to check the context while thinking you understand my point. https://t.co/U1yXNnuwtn — PolitiTweet.org

@nycsouthpaw You don't need to go back to 2020 as if it's something I would only say in the past. I just explained the same thing about DOMA yesterday, and it's a good reason I'm not in need of lectures from people like you about LGBT rights. https://t.co/1KCBMlVj9r — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MrTherapyDog @nycsouthpaw That's a really interesting accusation about my marriage. Do you want to put your name on it? How come I always hear that that conservatives depict gay men as pedophiles yet it's always bigoted liberals doing it? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@nycsouthpaw He used a screenshot of a single tweet from a long thread to take it out of its context about what Gaetz has done in the past re LGBTs and what he said about why he voted no on this bill, because he's a lying scumbag and you're too lazy to check. Anyway: Vote Dem and get likes! — PolitiTweet.org

It's amusing watching them having to confront and process the full scope of the disaster they created, one which worsens weekly. The way they manically swerve from complete confusion to full-on panic and back again is endlessly entertaining. "Wait, our views aren't heeded?!?" — PolitiTweet.org

@AdamSchiavone @3rd_Way_Stinks @NathanJRobinson @senatorwario @976monkey You're a Democratic Party partisan in Park Slope, Brooklyn. It's true I do not see the world remotely the way you see it.

@TomNwainwright @3rd_Way_Stinks @NathanJRobinson @senatorwario @976monkey Your views about me, and everything else, have no effect on anything or anyone. It's less significant than a random wisp of wind that momentarily blows by. — PolitiTweet.org

@Drew_Phillips4 @scriban2 @mattgaetz Same-sex marriage is already legally valid in all 50 states. Your inability "to be with others who love you" has nothing to do with the law, with Republicans or my actions. You should probably look inward to find the solutions to that. — PolitiTweet.org

Tenho orgulho de David desde o primeiro dia em que o conheci, e isso só aumentou com tudo o que fizemos juntos. Mas nunca estive tão orgulhoso dele como estou este ano com todas as escolhas que fez: sabendo os riscos e ataques, mas mesmo assim aceitá-los por princípio e crença. — PolitiTweet.org
