Serious question. I'm vaguely familiar with him as a political commentator on the left, but the more I see of the guy, the more I think he's just a liberal.

Horrible take, but it's also 12 years old.
Reagan was actually good 12 years ago
It isn't until you hit your mid 60s that everything truly makes sense. That's why the Senate has a cumulative age older than the sun.
Today's millennial youths still crying 'GeRoNtOcRaCy!', no appreciation for how long it takes for vampire lords to master their powers
I didn't think I'd have to say it explicitly: people's beliefs change. This could be like looking at a Peter Daou tweet from 2016.
Has he said anything recently that indicates he still believes this?
Social democracy seeks the reform of capitalism, demsoc seeks to reform capitalism into socialism. Both are counterrevolutionary and historically side with fascists against communists.
Since I already provided this tweet in which he's on record praising Reagan, how about you go ahead and provide the evidence where he disavowed this view
in the last couple years he coauthored a WSJ oped supporting desantis's education reforms because he's on the board of some hertiage ghoul's private education grift that benefited from those reforms
kill the liberal in your head
