LOL. She is meaninglessly "left". The western chauvinist's idea of "left" which is a few programs for the poor while the machine grinds on. She helps nothing, she builds nothing, she is a pressure relief valve and the CIA is happy she exists. It matters little whether she is literally on their payroll and can walk into Langley and flash a badge or just a stooge, the second is almost more shameful because the first at least gets paid to have a specific agenda and opinion (and to be clear I don't think she's CIA, but she swims in the same rivers and streams as them, she carries their stench and their foreign policy ideology). She's also in a position of power. I'm not in a position to cancel her or kick her out of an org or do really anything like that so SHUT THE FUCK UP. She's a favorite with liberals and the media but people like you -liberals in any way you like to see it- will continue to support her.

Listen to me very closely: The only thing that matters, the only identifying mark of any merit for a western leftist is solidarity with existing-AES nation and anti-imperialism. If one cannot openly support AES nations for some reason of tactics to reach liberals then one should still oppose and disdain imperialist action and intrigue against them, not co-author bills with Marco Rubio to attack them. It isn't hard, just point out we never achieve any of the lofty human rights goals we achieve and that we need to fix our own backyard before telling others how to tend theirs. Yet that's too much because fundamentally she and many chauvinists in the so called left in the west (an impotent left, one taken to fantasy and compromise, one that has NEVER had a successful revolution or any revolutionary theorists as a consequence) have drunk the kool-aid. Repeat after me, I do not give a fuck if she gives you worker-co-opts in the US if it is built off the backs of the global south, of imperialized, neo-colonized nations, off death squads and neo-liberalism abroad for soc-dem policies at home you have done nothing but further incentivized the US proletariat to stay class traitor because of their position of labor aristocracy.

Reformism (especially via electoralism) is idealism, is an idea that should have been cured from your head by Bernie Sanders and all that happened to him. When you sleep with the devil in Washington DC you don't change that devil, it changes you.
