The thing about Walker Bragman Twitter (i.e., Glenn Greenwald’s super ego), is that there’s simply no logical argument for it’s supposed virtues.

It’s literally ALL self-righteous posturing and constant, nasty negativity.

There’s no hope. No fight for a cause.
Take a look at this timeline. It’s all just a barrage of smears against Beto or now Kamala and will be for every single Democrat who supports progressive policy but is actually an evil fraud, corrupt, bought by Wall Street, lying about *all* of their progressive positions.
And he does have a real following. His followers are nasty, racist, sexist trolls.

They respond like frat bros high giving each other for their latest conquest tearing down another woman.

And mock and deride *everyone* outside their leftist bubble.
I’ve never been a Bernie basher. I like him and then thought he lost his way. I still don’t like how often those I agree with spend dunking on him instead of ignoring him,

In my view, supporting things doesn’t mean constantly firing off on those you disagree with.
I have no problem with Bernie running. And I’d welcome his supporters making the case for him,

But many of his most vocal twitter boosters spend 100% of their time digging up opposing Kamala, or whoever the target is that week.

And it’s not about policy at all.
They hide behind policy, of course. That claim they believe radical change is the only change.

But the thing is, there’s a reason they conflate *strategic* approaches like incrementalism with *policy preferences* like actual centrism.

Because it ain’t about policy.
It’s all about defining all of their ‘opponents’ (read: everyone who disagrees with them on anything), as fully insincere.

If you don’t agree that it’s radical leftism or bust, you simply cannot, in their view, be anything but corrupt.

Its a complete character attack.
Can anyone name a *single* politician who is at the political center of the *Democratic party* (ie, a progressive, not a centrist) but outside the Sanders coalition, that they treat as actually being genuine about their beliefs?

Anyone they wouldn’t destroy?
It’s all a toxic echo chamber of people that are fully egoists.

Policy is nothing more than a vessel.

Politics, to them, is about centering themselves.

Does anyone thing Walter Bragman would care about achieving fully socialized medicine, beyond feeling it as a *win*?
