@BMarchetich @curaffairs It's not confined to abortion, as you know. Large corporations are explicitly and aggressively associating themselves with the full panoply of liberal views on social issues, because they know liberalism is dominant, especially among the most affluent consumers. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I wonder, then, what it is about Clarence Thomas that caused Hillary Clinton to view him in Yale Law School as driven by "resentment, anger and grievance"? https://t.co/MXYv2OFiSw — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@BMarchetich @curaffairs Why would large corporations, which traditionally avoided overt political stances, now crave being associated with cultural liberalism unless it were the dominant ideology? If you look at Dem voters and corporate donors, it's hard to doubt that corporate managers are liberals. — PolitiTweet.org

@chesterBirdbath @curaffairs You can read about those views here: https://t.co/K7D9svm6A5 You can listen to those views here: https://t.co/2kmcRj6TMO Those who claim I haven't addressed things usually mean I haven't tweeted constantly about it: the worst venue for these discussions. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@curaffairs It's honestly disturbing (but also unsurprising) how reductively you're speaking of Wanda Sykes, a major Dem donor and activist. Liberalism is the dominant force in DC, media, academia and increasingly corporations. I think its underlying premises thus merit scrutiny and critique — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@lakecountydem @SteveKrak Yes, the 2 parties have been using gerrymandering for decades to reduce the impact of each other's loyal partisan followers. The top court in New York just struck down the gerrymandering plan of the Dem legislature as unconstitutional and politicized: https://t.co/4JZnknaR9k — PolitiTweet.org

@LucerneBolvin @curaffairs He's on a mission about his own brand: showing that he's a very nice, good, earnest, and concerned White Male Ally. It's all performative: as if constitutional law can be discussed on Twitter. Freddie deBoer captured it perfectly here: https://t.co/k5jjjifvr4 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@curaffairs I've talked extensively about Dobbs, just not in the banal and hoop-jumping way on Twitter that you do to show what a Good Male Ally you are and signal how nice and concerned you are.👇 I think what rich, influential people like Sykes/Colbert say matters. https://t.co/k5jjjifvr4 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@curaffairs That said, I do agree that the hallmark of marginalization is being named co-host of the Oscars. All those dirty poor people in the middle of the country whom she explicitly maligned and told to shut up and obey should also reflect on how lucky they are not to suffer as she does. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@curaffairs Abortion remains a constitutional right in California, but maybe she should argue about Roe instead of telling people who are poor that, due to their poverty, they have no right to be heard and thus need to just shut up and obey. That you defend that shows the rot of your faction — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@redsteeze There's no denying the power of this tactic. https://t.co/zI9x6P4SbM — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SteveKrak Democrats should send out rich Hollywood celebrities to tell the people in the middle of the country that they're too poor and gross to have any say, and that they should just shut up and do what they're told by their wealthier superiors on the coasts. Winning message.🌊 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As @JohnDenverHojaa points out, the word "yet" in this NYT tweet should be replaced with the word "therefore" in order to make the statement accurate: https://t.co/wLMtmgD7Xr — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JohnDenverHojaa Exactly - they should replace "yet" with "therefore" to make the sentence accurate. — PolitiTweet.org

But did they spend thousands of dollars on fake Facebook groups and Twitter bots to influence the elections in Colombia? Get back to me when the US does *that*. https://t.co/tQdCl637ol — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

For the lingering group of American citizens and British subjects who, each time it's time for a new war, believe that the US is devoted to fighting for freedom, democracy and a "rules-based international order" (😂) and to vanquish tyranny and despotism: — PolitiTweet.org

@leftwingzealot Everyone can hear the words. My tweet is close to verbatim what she said in the last 45 seconds. Do you think if you just deny her words with enough petulance and vehemence, then people will start to believe she didn't say it? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Jamie_Maz I know you're not a Democratic loyalist or even a Democrat. There are always extremist people on the fringes or even winning elections in the US: decades of warnings about it. But as the establishment showed in the Trump years, it stays stable and entrenched. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

True, but it's not like they used a couple hundred thousand dollars worth of Facebook ads and Twitter bots. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@leftwingzealot As a "left-wing zealot," you believe that the highest-income Americans should get their way in the US by virtue of their higher earnings, and that lower-income people should shut up and do what they're told? That's what she argued. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This two-minute video from the Democratic Party late-night show provides a fascinating and highly illustrative look inside the liberal mindset. Highly recommended: https://t.co/EOXaEiRI5H — PolitiTweet.org

@JillFilipovic Can't speak to any of that. Just saying that it's *extremely* unlikely that Saagar's views of Europe are based on what he hears from Fox News. That said, I can think of worse crimes than insufficiently revering Europe. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JillFilipovic Nobody I know hates Fox News more than Saagar. He's also been to and traveled extensively within Europe many times. Otherwise, very good point. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Jamie_Maz Yes, it happens the other way as well. Democrats use gerrymandering, too, to ensure that GOP votes count as little as possible. Federal and state courts have nullified this when too extreme or discriminatory (as just happened in NY) but it's inherent to having districts. — PolitiTweet.org
