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.

Obama flunky tries to spin tale of Blue Texas
Josh Simpkins at the Observer tries to spin a tale
of Texas, and the South, as more bluish than is actually true. Most his
anecdotes are undercut by reality. With Huckleberry J. Butchmeup, aka
Lindsay Graham's, 15-week abortion bill, that was US Senate, not South
Carolina Lege, and Mitch McConnell (rightly, it would seen) didn't want
that being a midterm election issue. Virginia and abortion? It's a
purplish-blue state where Youngkin was elected governor over a Clinton
retread seeking a second term. Polling on abortion is notoriously
subjective. As for what Texas voters say they want in terms of things
like Uri relief? They didn't vote that way. But, when you're a former
Dear Leader flunky who also has Aspen Institute ties, per his editorial tagline, directly or
indirectly, you're paid to spin tales like this.
