So, Jacobin staffer Marcetic was surprised that Woody Harrelson would endorse RFK Jr.?
Per my tweet below, derp!
Harrelson was a nutter even b4 becoming anti-vaxxer. The fact that Branko couldn't see Woody being an RFK Jr. supporter speaks volumes about him, not Harrelson. (But is not surprising; Branko is still a duopolist who backed voting Green b4 only because he was a butt-hurt Berner.) https://t.co/JeL0LJNs7c

First, Woody's been a nutter long before he became an antivaxxer, as I noted.
Second, yes, as blogged three years ago when I removed Jacobin from my blogroll, he and the mag really aren't that far left.
Third, to the degree they approach being that far left, them and others? I'm a non-Marxist leftist. Not even a post-Marxist; I reject his dialectical materialism starting point.
Fourth, it may actually have been Sunkara who felt that was on Bernie, butt-hurtness and the Greens, but I know it was somebody at Jacobin.
Update, Aug. 20: Eric London of World Socialist roasts Branko's fellating of AOC in this Twitter thread. (London probably won't like me being non-Marxist, but you dance an individual dance with them what brung you to the first slot on the dance card, to modify Darrell Royal.)
