      Seriously, if Michael Tracey plays his cards right, he could be in the Trump era what Christopher Hitchens was in the Bush era, the quondam leftist who wins an audience by making contrarian arguments for an indefensible Republican president. Always a market for that.

      You’re obsessed with him, it’s sort of weird.

      I like Michael, although I find his evolution mystifying. Also, I think he represent an important tendency on the left.

          a tendency to disregard basic self-preservation? lest we forget that the major animating force of today's right is "owning the libs", and they keep escalating.

          You don’t think people would.... disregard self-preservation when offered capital gains, do you?

          He just thinks Russiagate is dumb and that trump isn’t the worst president ever, he likes Bernie and tulsi, I don’t think there was some “evolution” and he’s right wing now. Do you think @ggreenwald had an “evolution” too?

          🤔Perhaps his evolution is mystifying because he represents that important tendency very badly. Prof. Robin represents that tendency far better because he's willing to fight to describe what he's seeing. You either want to agree with him, or not. 1/2

          Tracey, meanwhile, makes the huge mistake of fighting to widen what his colleagues "permit" him to see. 2/2

          Jeet has yet to answer my question about tracey and policy, what right wing policies is tracey promoting? I don’t see it, he likes Corbyn and sanders LOL just because he doesn’t buy into the russiagate narrative all of a sudden he’s post 9/11 hitchens?

          "mystifying" = refuses to acknowledge obvious alt-right bias.

          Who’s got an alt right bias? Tracey? Please elaborate, what “alt right” policies does he support?
