She is absolutely right, and it is infuriating to watch the "left" betray every single principle of classical liberalism. Being antiwar and wanting freedom of speech are now far-right values somehow

"This is because the left-wing Democrat is a myth, like the good billionaire or the happy open marriage."

"I've avoided the term, but 'Fraud Squad' feels pretty apt," journalist Aaron Maté tweeted of the House vote. "Challenging the military industrial complex is leftism 101. The Squad just voted to give it another $40 billion via the Ukraine proxy war. So, insofar as they claim to be a leftist contingent, how are they not a fraud?"

"When you've got braindead Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene scoring easy Twitter dunks on Squad members for pouring money into a horrific proxy war while Americans worry about paying their bills and obtaining formula for their babies, it's safe to say that you've failed at your PR campaign, and that you have ceded what would normally be progressive ground to the far right."
