They couldn't even hold out for *24 hours*. What a complete humiliation. Joe Crowley must be sitting in his lobbyist office cackling each time this happens: https://t.co/s7605fJ9HZ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I won't be that surprised if, before the end of the day, @RepJayapal announces that she and the rest of the House Progressives are getting tattoos of Volodymyr Zelensky and the Raytheon logo on their bodies to repent for their momentary lapse of loyalty: https://t.co/TWLzOURfR2 — PolitiTweet.org

@thejdlr When the President of the United States himself warns that the world is closer to nuclear armageddon than at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis 60 years ago, it's probably good to have some debate about our current course - as is happening in most countries around the world. — PolitiTweet.org

@ty_hot @nferraz A eleição para senador em SP foi um dos piores resultados de pesquisa que já vi. Mas não foi muito melhor para or Governadores em SP ou no Rio: eles também erraram por 15-20 pontos. E eles subestimaram o apoio de Bolsonaro em pelo menos dez pontos. Foi uma atuação terrível. — PolitiTweet.org

The vast majority of Republican members of Congress and voters support Biden's war policies in Ukraine. More than 80% of Senate and House GOP voted for it. But at least there's some dissent, some debate -- in their political and media circles. There's *zero* dissent among Dems. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There's vastly more debate within the Republican Party -- not just on Ukraine but on most topics -- than there is within the Democratic Party. It's not even close. The tolerance level for even the smallest dissent in Democratic Party political and media circles is close to zero. https://t.co/rTkATTOabx — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Imagine being elected to Congress based on promises of challenging "the establishment" or whatever, then being so petrified of anger from bipartisan DC establishment mavens that you can't even wait 24 hours before meekly retracting the only mild dissent you've expressed. https://t.co/3uk9SlLoC3 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JamesKroeger5 In every election in every country, people now believe the voting machines are being manipulated. In Brazil, this is a view most common among Bolsonaro supporters. If your views on Brazil are based on that left-wing conspiracy site, you'll be very misled. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@nferraz Moro no Brasil desde 2005: então esta é minha 4ª eleição presidencial. Dado terceiros, "voto útil" tb existe nos EUA - embora não na mesma medida - mas em muitos outros países. Não justifica esses enormes erros de pesquisas esse ano e, se justifica, qual valor as pesquisas têm? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In other words, bipartisan anger that "progressives" in the House Dem Caucus might have some very mild critiques on Ukraine led them to immediately vow full loyalty to the leader. So the only dissent on Ukraine continues to be on Fox, parts of GOP, and small sectors of the left. https://t.co/cLPG4CbykC — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In response to intense bipartisan anger over the letter they issued yesterday on Ukraine, House Progressives issue a new statement vowing full and complete loyalty to Biden's war policies and full support to funding war in Ukraine without limits: https://t.co/QCZA4TT8FZ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Given how embarrassingly wrong Brazil's leading polls were in the 1st round - especially in key Senate and Governor races where they were off by 20-30 points - it's unclear how much value it has, but polls are pretty consistent in giving Lula a 6/7-point lead in Sunday's run-off: https://t.co/CQCpwqv8S6 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The POLITICO reporter says he didn't intend to express support for Biden's war policy: just imprecise wording. I take his word for it. The value of his thread is his correct analysis that the Progressives' letter postures as opposition but isn't really: https://t.co/H7Dq3UCr7X — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@alexbward Fair enough. I do think the tweet, as written, was reasonably interpreted to mean that the letter wasn't bad because it doesn't offer real opposition to Biden's policy, but I know how easy it is in tweets to express oneself imprecisely. Will note this. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I'm not suggesting this is some grave abuse of my rights. But just look at how innocuous the tweet is. I've now received 2 formal decrees on its propriety. This is the climate cultivated: official judgments and punishments routinely issued for our views: https://t.co/hSXR30Xqnv — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

While I thankfully was cleared of violating German law with my tweet criticizing neocons, Twitter decided the tweet merits a warning for some unspecified reason. We've become trained to view as normal this constant formal judgment by state and corporate authorities of our views. https://t.co/0GavBSK4uF — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@tgf9898 @alexbward The point is that's not going to happen, leaving the US with the question of how much it wants to sacrifice in order to fund and otherwise involve itself in an indefinite proxy war, one that -- by all accounts -- includes a non-trivial risk of nuclear war. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@alexbward As others have already responded -- both under your original tweet and here -- you said the letter wasn't "as bad as people are making it out to be" because it doesn't express real opposition to Biden's current policy. Thus, the only inference is you support that policy. https://t.co/475l6l6yUG — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Here's POLITICO's NatSec reporter @alexbward -- who, to his credit, candidly shows how vehemently he supports Biden's war policies in Ukraine -- arguing, convincingly, that the Ukraine letter from House progressives is mostly just meaningless drivel: https://t.co/LyespdGNW6 — PolitiTweet.org

Look what this bipartisan group of Senators -- the ones who always want more war, more weapons expenditures, etc. -- are trying to do "for Ukraine": give Biden emergency powers to transfer huge sums of money to Raytheon, Boeing, etc. with no safeguards: https://t.co/Q3SmS4EzpA https://t.co/Q7UkWcEAof — PolitiTweet.org

Finally. And good to see. They should work with the wing of the Senate and House GOP who have been warning of the dangers of US involvement in this war from the start and the immense waste that it fosters.... — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jasonintrator When I look at Bolsonaro and Trump, what interests me most is not screaming in denunciation but rather asking why people turned to them (I don't like talking about them as a unit because they're quite different). And the answer, to me, is the profound failures of neoliberalism. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jasonintrator I agree that the author of our current woes - including the public's complete lost of faith and trust in institutions of authority (a loss I regard as valid and rational) -- are neoliberal elites and neoliberalism. That's why I'm baffled by those who want to keep them in power. — PolitiTweet.org

@jasonintrator Come on, Jason. It's the lightest of mockery of the pomposity of rituals of academia. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jasonintrator But do you believe the death of democracy is caused principally by the success of the Republican Party, and that the best way (or one of the best ways) to avert it is to vote for Democratic Party candidates? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

For those of you unfamiliar with Professor Stanely's credentials to decree that American Democracy is dead as the result of the GOP victory he believes is imminent, he explains those credentials in this short but convincing and important video: https://t.co/RbEPVzrCDV — PolitiTweet.org
