Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi continue their non stop shitting on anything that goes against trump as they pretend to the true, wise ones.
This time, they both retweet this special piece of shit from Rose McGowan, doing her best to outdo Susan Sarandon in 2016.
BTW, several people ask her what her solutions are and she offered nothing.

(43,584 posts)The actor Rose McGowan has alleged that Harvey Weinstein raped her and that Amazon Studios ignored her complaints and dropped her show after she spoke up.McGowan is one of the most prominent women to accuse the disgraced movie mogul of sexual misconduct, and although she was named in the recent New York Times investigation as an accuser, her tweets Thursday were the first time she publicly alleged that Weinstein raped her.
I told the head of your studio that HW raped me, she wrote in a tweet to Amazons CEO, using Weinsteins initials. Over & over I said it. He said it hadnt been proven. I said I was the proof. She further claimed Amazon had won a dirty Oscar while funding rapists.
McGowan about being raped by an unnamed studio head, but did not name Weinstein. The producer reached a settlement with McGowan when she was 23 years old after an episode in a hotel room during a film festival, according to the New York Times . McGowan declined to comment for that story and she did not immediately respond to the Guardians request for comment on Thursday.
Weinstein has apologized for causing pain, but has said he denies many of the sexual harassment allegations in the New York Times. After a New Yorker piece reported on multiple accusations of sexual assault and his rape, his spokesperson said: Allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied.

(29,322 posts)Though they do influence people. Greenwald's ideology is more difficult to nail down since he hates both Bush and Obama but downplays Trump.
I think Greenwald is mostly a libertarian especially when it comes to defenses of Nazis.
However, an extremist goes beyond what those 3 do and commit acts of terrorism which isn't something the left does lately.

(29,322 posts)If you look at the entire advisory council they have a really high combined net worth which is odd for a '"People's Party".
I don't trust them. They even attack progressives inside the Democratic Party to build up their brand.
They seem to be worse than the Green Party.

(5,376 posts)They want to claim the mantle of Progressivism, and they want everyone to be in lockstep with them.

(29,322 posts)They have been attacking AOC a lot during a lame duck session saying she isn't fighting hard enough for Medicare 4 All.
This tweet from Ryan Knight who is on the advisory council.

Ryan Knight is odd. He was a Proud Resister a blue no matter who type that supported Warren. His switch from Warren to Bernie was logical because after Bernie won the New Hampshire Primary Bernie was the Progressive with the best chance to win but now he is attacking AOC from the left. I never seen anyone radicalize that fast. It is unnatural.
It isn't hard to track ideology scores so his Tweet is just misinformation.

I didn't support Bernie for president, but I like Bernie and I feel overall he understands the stakes.

(26,155 posts)Years before anyone else did. Weinstein ruined her career. Judd AGAIN accused Weinstein when #metoo really started up, and then McGowan did this weird "stealing thunder" thing with Judd.
I am not minimalizing what Rose McGowan went through, including her traumatic childhood in a cult, but how she slid into Ashley Judd's public accusation's and took over her (Judd's) narrative was... weird.
Me being petty: Ashley Judd is a long-time and vocal feminist and liberal, who has supported Obama, HRC, and Biden, and was even a Dem delegate in 2012 in Charlotte. And, she's articulate and smart as a whip, and deserved better from Hollywood, her neglectful mother, and the press.
