A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.

McCain and Biden screwed old folks in 1983
When both (McCain in the House at the time) voted for the big Social Security rescue in 1983, they voted for a bill that didn’t index Social Security income subject to taxation. (This was after one of the good things of the Reagan Administration, indexing regular income for taxation, so "not thinking of it" isn't very plausible.)
