New things I've learned in this thread:
1. Bad Wigins isn't just LRC's worst forecaster (2600 times over), but he's pro-Russia, which, in retrospect, explains almost everything he's blathered on about since he's been around on here.
Nothing else, that's all I've learned so far. Carry on...
I am starting to realize that the loud contingent of Putin mouthpieces on LRC is actually much smaller and significantly less influential than I'd thought. This new upvote/downvote function has proven itself useful in that respect. Just a small group of angry young men yelling at the internet incessantly, annoying the rest of us but moving nobody.
right wing lrc trolls are not so much 'pro-russia' as against anything touching even lightly on The Squad. They will embrace fascism if it lets them clearly express their anti-AOC passions.
Ok, and they dig a political strongman too. They just love a guy willing to break some eggs to get the trains running on time and the ethnic minorities worried.
