      This @HeerJeet article is incoherent. Tracey & Greenwald are not on the Left. Warren has drastically improved her position in the race since declining to go on Fox. And, at this point, there’s 0 difference between Tucker’s show and other Fox programming. https://www.thenation.com/article/lefitsts-tucker-carlson-fox/ …pic.twitter.com/b1WiDZQyzn

      I'm sorry you're experiencing threats of imprisonment, deportation & violence by a far-right authoritarian government, just like you were when you exposed the secrets of the US security state, but at least those scars give you the authority to determine who is & isn't on the Left

      Hi Glenn, one has nothing to do with the other. But have you ever identified yourself as a leftist? I honestly didn’t mean it as an insult, just that your more of a legal norms guy who challenges both sides.

      To briefly interject, I'm very uninterested in semantic questions about who is or is not a leftist. GG's heroic work opposing USA militarism and Brazil's neo-fascism makes him invaluable and that's good enough for me.

          Thank you, Jeet. Genuinely appreciated. I've never thought label debates were helpful, which is why I've generally never claimed or disclaimed any. I think the Fox debate is a totally legitimate one to have and I understand and regard as reasonable your view while not agreeing.

          Yeah, I think it's a legitimate question on which people can reasonably come to different sides -- I tried to convey that in my article.

          Does opposing US militarism make someone a leftist? I think it takes more than. Like, you throw these terms around and base your entire article on them, and then when people scrutinize them, you claim it’s just semantics.

          It is such a low bar, and it gives us things like the anti-imperialist "left," who seem to poop on anti-racism and anti-fascism every chance they get.
