Chris Hayes, what "people on the left" think the GOP Russian connection is a distraction?

[Skidmore]

Have not heard this before. Anyone else heard it?

[emulatorloo]

1. Yes.

Glenn Greenwald

[Skidmore]

2. Ugh. Hayes ia a Greenwald fan. nt

[emulatorloo]

4. Hayes is a good guy.

Greenwald isn't the only one pushing the idea that Russian interference in the 2016 is "unproven." Stein peddled this nonsense as well.

The "unproven Russian interference" meme is very big with the BoB's at Reddit.

The idea is that the Democrats/Evil Hillary made the whole thing up. (Similar to what Trump twitted yesterday)

You may remember the "Sane Progressive". If you can stand watching, this is the mindset.

3. Treasonous traitor Glenn Greenwald who is as much a "Democrat"

as Lyndon LaRouche.

5. Probably the same "leftists"

who were telling us Clinton was "more dangerous" than Trump.

6. Yeah- some people bought that crap that HRC would be at war with Russia, BOBers....

7. The Jacobin industrial complex.

A little coterie of leftist philosophers who think that something else is going on that we're all ignoring.

It beggars my imagination to think of what though--the Russia thing is pretty fucking staggering and I'm hard to shock.

8. Love that characterization, "The Jacobin Industrial Complex"

[Starry Messenger]

9. Hehe.

They don't produce much but hot air, but they are loud on social media.

10. Good name for it!

I actually used to enjoy reading Jacobin magazine and the Baffler before this election.

[Starry Messenger]

11. I did too.

I finally had to unlike their page on Facebook, otherwise I was going to look like a madwoman typing long screeds at them on threads.

"So your country has elected a fascist! Now is a great time to put out a hit on the whole middle of your electorate!"

[m-lekktor]

12. People to the left of establishment liberal Democrats think it is. nt
