Something kind of nice, kind of thematic and kind of snarky for the Fourth of July — starting with the Observer's brief interview, which links to a piece Winner wrote at the Wrap.
I agree with restoring voting rights for felons.
That said, the rest of her story?
I long ago called her out for believing in Russiagate. As far as I know, she's never repudiated that. Now, a few L/libertarian types may also believe in it, as do a few leftists of some sort, like Green presidential candidate Howie Hawkins, but, by and large, it's an issue limited to the left hand of the duopoly plus never-trumper Rethuglicans. (That said, Hillary's likely CIA head was among early rejectors.)
I also noted she was naive — she's a Nat-Sec Nutsacks™ contractor and she emails Glennwald from a work email? Really? And, as the above, she overrated the seriousness of what she emailed, too. That second one makes you wonder just who the likes of Fluor and DynCorp hire at times. I am NOT a total fan of the Nat-Sec Nutsacks™ contractor Snowden, just to remind you, and know he's a liar, and that he got suckered by Assange, too.
Sadly, Dementia Joe didn't give her a commutation, even if the now-deblogrolled (and not hugely missed) Counterpunch lied about the 2004 election.
Happy Fourth. Per Ben Franklin, it's an oligarchy not a republic. It was lost long ago, if it ever was fully what Franklin claimed in 1787. It never was a democracy, though, contra Joe Costello.
