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.

Challenge Congressional Democrats from the left?
Jon Chait gets this half right. Congressional Democrats will probably lie more than Congressional Republicans to get re-elected, so primary challenges would be of limited value. Besides, few Democrats would do that. Instead, we need more progressives to support left-liberal third-party general election challenges.

Congressional Democrats,
