@ChristinaPushaw @_kevinxyz @JamaalBowmanNY @MayraFlores2022 The absolute last thing left-liberals evaluate when deciding who is racist, bigoted, etc. etc. is what people's actual lives consist of and what values those life choices reflect. They have nothing in their lives reflecting their claimed values, so they declare that irrelevant. — PolitiTweet.org

@raguileramx @mcohen2 @BenjaminPDixon You have no idea who my readers/subscribers are, but you follow me online, so by your utterly stunted guilt-by-association reasoning, this must mean that I have your ideology. I'm quite sure, just based on this single tweet, that this is not the case, negating your framework. https://t.co/Ploa5M1RCV — PolitiTweet.org

@mcohen2 @BenjaminPDixon I don't give a shit about and therefore don't claim political labels for myself. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@citizen00013 @JamaalBowmanNY @MayraFlores2022 Are you sure, because I was just told by petistas that classically racist tropes used to demean and malign @davidmirandario can't possibly really be racist because the person who created these attacks claims on the internet to be black. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@BenjaminPDixon You've spent months cheerleading US/NATO war policies in lockstep unity with Marco Rubio, Tom Cotton, Liz Cheney, Boris Johnson, Bill Kristol, David Frum, Max Boot and Mitch McConnell. Those are your ideological allies. You thus have no moral credibility to adjudicate leftism. — PolitiTweet.org

@TheKryptonian41 @JamaalBowmanNY @MayraFlores2022 Mayra Flores is literally Mexican-American. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It seems to me that talking to pro-war Republicans and convincing them to become anti-war, anti-interventionist, and anti-imperialism is a positive outcome. But to see that, you have to be actually devoted to those goals, rather than exploiting them as personal branding marks:👇 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

According to this tweet from Congressman @JamaalBowmanNY (D-Squad), Elon Musk is a supporter of "white supremacy" due to his announcement that he last night voted for @MayraFlores2022 (the first-ever Mexico-born Congresswoman in US history). Odd way to express white supremacy. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@GodTrumpCuntry Trump introduced the plan to withdraw from Afghanistan and negotiated the deal with the Taliban to do so. Unfortunately, pro-war Dems in the House joined with Liz Cheney to try to block it, then the NYT published a fake CIA tale about "Russian bounties." https://t.co/iT5GB3WPc1 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@GodTrumpCuntry The two Senators who co-signed the letter demanding an investigation into and accountability for Israel's killing of Shireen Abu Akleh were Jon @ossoff and @MittRomney. https://t.co/JmWLniQABN — PolitiTweet.org

@AkeJobst I would have been opposed to arming and funding Nazi battalions back then, just like I am now. https://t.co/HZmEyAhYEZ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

While the right's key media figures, conservative think tanks (Heritage) and increasing numbers of GOP lawmakers push anti-interventionism in Ukraine and elsewhere, Bernie Sanders sends his top foreign policy adviser @mattduss to TNR to attack the few leftwing war dissenters. https://t.co/US41DtadVI — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

(Note that @newrepublic's article and above tweet contains one error: Tom Cotton voted YES, not NO, on Biden's $40b war package for Ukraine. These were the 11 GOP Senators who, along with 57 GOP House members, voted NO): https://t.co/RU7lvXz5qk — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

When is the last time there was a meaningful foreign policy debate among Dems and the liberal-left? Every last Squad member and Bernie joined all Dems in voting for Biden's $40b war package. The only dissent was on the right: a minority, but substantial. Recommended: https://t.co/Gpr4fOWVfR — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Good article on the genuine, vibrant, spirited debate occurring on the right about militarism, imperialism and interventionism: think tanks and key media/political figures pushing an anti-war/anti-intervention agenda. Meanwhile: no debate to be found among Dems, only unanimity. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@dsdamato Yes, I think it's important to use the claim sparingly: only when you've had ample time to observe them, interact with them, see how their brains malfunction. I've had that with Cenk and thus feel comfortable saying it. Some of the people I dislike most are smart: he's just dumb. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@dsdamato I've been thinking recently about the fact that basic stupidity explains a lot of what takes place in elite political and media discourse. But because it sounds so impolite and harsh to say that about someone -- and it is -- it gets overlooked as the major factor that it is. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Moldy_xx @WhitKS2490 By far the easiest path to money, popularity and advancement over the last six years was readily available to me -- denounce Trump over and over as a white nationalist fascist Kremlin-controlled dictator. I rejected it because I don't believe it. Opportunists would have done that — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@WhitKS2490 You're right that he's also completely opportunistic -- though even there, it's a very crude, transparent form of opportunism -- but stupidity is by far the leading factor in shaping what he thinks, does and says. We often shy away from this explanation because it's harsh. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ElAnCapPe @NancyMace Cassandra has praised some of Nancy's work on animal experimentation and animal welfare despite making clear that she believes her disagreements outweigh that support. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The nation's single dumbest pundit -- and I mean that literally and earnestly: there may be people more malicious, but there's simply nobody more stupid, more cognitively dense -- decrees that Bernie Sanders' 2020 Press Secretary is part of the "fake left." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Jingo_Unchained @JellyJimmyJelly White liberals genuinely believe that people of color who vote GOP are too stupid, uneducated, and unsophisticated to think for themselves, to understand their own reality and interests. They believe people of color are lost without guidance from more enlightened white liberals. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JellyJimmyJelly Are you here to say that Latinos -- along with increasing numbers of Asian and Black voters migrating slowly but surely to the GOP -- support and want to construct a system of white nationalism in the US? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@CarlossennaB Yes, the person who calls American Latinos "Latinx" -- despite one poll after the next showing how much almost all of them despise that term -- is the one who has his finger on the pulse of political sensibilities driving political behavior of Latinos in the US. https://t.co/f4joWMc7Cy — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

To them, there's no such thing as deliberative or genuine dissent from their worldview. They constantly reinforce each other's certitude. Thus, they recognize only a small handful of motives -- all corrupt -- why one might reject them: racism, bigotry, contrarianism, grifting. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is why you constantly see establishment liberals calling anyone who disagrees with them "contrarians" and "grifters." They've manufactured a happy world where their views are universally accepted Truths, so only corrupt motives could cause someone to reject their pieties. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Elite liberals in media and politics look around and see most large corporate media outlets vigorously echoing their ideology. They curate their social media feeds and cable outlets to exclude dissent so, for them, it disappears. This causes them to live in complete delusion. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As with Russiagate, elite media endlessly fixates on sideshows people ignore. And if Latino/Asian/Black votes keep migrating to GOP, and it's GOP with pioneers like @MayraFlores2022, the media soon must reconcile these facts with its view that GOP is a "white nationalist" party. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This result - Dems lose an overwhelmingly Latino district in TX that was +16 for Hillary, to a GOP nurse who will be the first-ever Mexico-born Congresswoman - is obviously humiliating. That it happened during the Liz Cheney spectacle is hilarious. Doubtful it changed one vote. — PolitiTweet.org
