@left__is__best No, I'm not "just asking questions." I'm affirmatively stating that only very dumb and authoritarian people would accept the excuse that the richest country on earth can't manage to count all votes within 24 hours even as less rich nations all over the world do so. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I can see why many conservatives want to move beyond Trump. Maybe there's someone like Josh Hawley who could more effectively advocate the 2016 iteration of Trumpism (that often wasn't reflected in his Admin). Or maybe only Trump can. But this debate is needed and is healthy. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There's real and substantive internal division on the US right in both foreign and domestic policy. The early Tea Party and Ron Paul's relative success captured that before Trump used his celebrity, charisma and media attention to win with it. These debates don't exist with Dems. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Here's Pompeo on Ukraine: exactly the same as Dems, neocons, Biden, etc. He's a foreign policy hawk, never opposes wars, wants pro-corporate policies, tax cuts for the rich etc. That's largely DeSantis' record, too. But much of the GOP base opposes this. https://t.co/Hj71T8Tzrt — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

DeSantis is a very smart politician so he adapted to the Trump era. He also got COVID right by relying on science, and adeptly uses the culture war. But if you look at his House voting record, he's like Pompeo: supports the foreign and economic policy which Trump 2016 rejected. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

DeSantis v. Trump wouldn't just be about personalities. DeSantis is traditional GOP. Many Republicans like that! They liked the pre-Trump GOP and want to return to that. But Trump ran in 2016 against GOP dogma because (as Ron Paul also showed) a big part of the base rejects it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And the utter arrogance of the people who can't manage to count votes until more than a week elapses, the contempt they have for the public when asking why this takes so long and is so chaotic, will only make it worse. Of course this breeds distrust: https://t.co/kW14x8Jjex — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The most surreal part is that the people who claim to embody "democracy," who tell you the only way to save democracy is to vote how they tell you, are the ones who defend this. Anyone asking questions about why this takes so long and is so chaotic is somehow "anti-democracy." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I'm not stating or implying there's fraud in this election. I've seen no evidence of it. But when the planet's richest country purposely implements a voting system that takes weeks to count votes, and votes appear from all corners, of course that will foster rational distrust. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Is it at all strange that a brand new and opaque voting system was implemented in the name of COVID; people are trained to think it's normal to take not days but weeks to count votes; and candidates are required to concede when the media says so, not when the votes are counted? — PolitiTweet.org

@JarekFA @HeerJeet Do you want to put your real name on this accusation again me and my husband? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@hunkenjoyer @HeerJeet Please just put your real name on this accusation. Accusing my husband of having been an "underage sex worker" when he's too sick to respond on his own is repugnant, and claiming I'm a pedophile is as well. Just any of you put your real names on this accusation, please. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JustBrianOk @HeerJeet What's your last name, Brian? We can test your accusation that I'm a pedophile and that I troll "young (underage) males" in court. You'll have full discovery to prove your repugnant claim, long used by bigots like you against gay men, that I have sex with underage males. — PolitiTweet.org

@gnapsjoe @MultaniSaint The GOP lost a huge number of extremely close elections. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MultaniSaint I said in an earlier tweet there's still the possibility Keri Lake, if she loses, will be an exception. I won't be surprised at all if she claims fraud. But her race isn't declared - she still may win - so I'm talking about what has happened up to now, with most races decided. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

For all the media bullshit about how this might be the last election ever in the US -- something absolutely nobody believed or believes now even if the GOP takes over the House, yet "journalists" still said it -- there's been little to no refusal to accept election outcomes: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

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

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

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

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@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

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
