Since unsurprisingly the Redscare people are going fash, it would be good to know who's a grifter and who's not. What's your predictions?

My predictions:

Grifters:

  1. Zizek
  2. AOC
  3. 1-2 from Cumtown (it's anyone's guess)

Not Grifters

  1. The Deprogram Boys (ok I'm still in honeymoon)
  2. Jezza (obviously)
  3. Richard Wolfe & Harriet Fraad
  4. Viki1999

I agree. I don't think Bernie is a leftist. I'm claiming he's responsible for the introduction of more actual leftists to politics than any other American. He has been against more wars than most politicians, but his real value is as part of the pipeline.
