Two libertarians named Glenn walk into a Zoom
Here’s Greenwald asserting that it would be “tyrannical” to have a Senate slightly less biased in favor of rural white voters, or rules that make it easier to vote:
Greenwald: “they don’t believe in safeguards our founders put in, making sure that smaller rural states have equal representation in the Senate.
they want to change all the rules to stay in power forever. it is a genuinely repressive and tyrannical party.”pic.twitter.com/4tbZaGBKYV— Accelerationist for Biden (@Nitzky89) April 23, 2021
So, to summarize — majority rule (or even moving closer to it) and #MeToo are “tyrannical,” while massively overrepresenting white voters is, like Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz, good. You can call these views many things but they’re nowhere near the left.
…as a constructive antidote to Greenwald making neoconfederate arguments while fawning over awful neoconfederate politicians, this defense of democracy and majority rule by Will Wilkinson is excellent.
