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.

Douthat half-right on third parties
He’s quite right to note their effect in the New Jersey governor’s race and the NY-23 Congressional special election, and to call for more of the same tonic. He’s quite wrong to belittle third-party presidential candidates as too narrowly focused, and hypocritical for using the argument for third-party Congressional and state-level candidates against presidential ones.
