Goodness no, now that wouldn't do at all!
I think it’s fine to make fun of bad opinions but the tenor of the thread is much more “these people will never support us.” which, sure yeah, trad Catha are probably not going to. the substantial number of vaguely Christian Americans who support abortion rights but wouldn’t personally do it are different. it feels like an online versus irl thing.

she's both catholic, and holds anti-abortion views. like the majority of democratic politicians in power, including our president. no one has to listen to or defend any of them. also most of the people who harass bruenig on twitter are weirdo misogynists, like https://twitter.com/_fleerultra

most american's pro-choice does not include abortion in any circumstance.

they get their ideas about abortion from the people in power, and will abide by the eventual democrat compromise of abortion up to two weeks into a pregnancy, after consultation with a crisis clinic equivalent in democrat states.

we have once again completed the Liz bruenig cycle and established that her actual political stances and politics and policies that she supports are completely reasonable and in line with most c-spam posters but she made a weird tweet about a 3 years ago or something. I'm excited for you retards to insinuate that she's a falangist again in a week

it's very interesting to see people talk about podcasters and twitter users. it kind of feels like being on twitter again. what I remember from twitter years ago is that bruenigs are really well-liked by most chapo people. lots of people got very weird about liz (both criticizing and supporting) but if I clicked on one of her controversial tweets I would see, like clockwork, people who may have yelled "bernie go on chapo" at my old college campus defending her to the death.

Genuine question - is there any indication that the Bruenigs actually have left-wing politics beyond sort of generic social democrat stuff?

One thing I've noticed in recent years is that there's usually a big difference between people who just levy (accurate) left condemnation of Democrats and advocate for social democratic policy, but without actually explicitly being a communist/socialist. The difference often shows up in opinions (or lack thereof) about US foreign policy.

matty b is like a pre-1980s social democrat, in that he believes in reaching socialism through state-owned enterprises. not sure why people are calling liz a trad cath... she seems pretty regular cath to me.
