Some of Vance's views are clearly on the left. Is he a leftist?

Ron DeSantis has shown how he’ll govern as President.

The other two most mentioned are anybody’s guess.

If I cared what some random weirdo said on twitter I’d be on twitter.

Just because the Dems eat their own young doesn’t mean we have to form a circular firing squad.

Not leftist. But definitely not conservative either.

This was on X-Twitter, so it all must be true. (/S)

This thread is a paid political advertisement brought to you by the Rubio for President Campaign.

IOW... Bull Cheese.

I honestly couldn’t tell you where JD Vance stands on a lot of things. He’s an enigma.

He gets his theology from the Pope. The last two popes have been leftists.

Post-liberalism rejects free-market capitalism and individualism in favor of the government securing economic and social well-being (social welfare).

This is simply false. Not all post-liberalism believes in the government directly securing "economic and social well-being." Vance is merely claiming that the government needs to set policy by aiming towards the "economic and social well-being" of the whole country, and not just capital owners. Most Americans have nothing to sell except their physical or intellectual labor. Allowing mass immigration, H1-B visas, and "free trade" by predatory mercantilist powers like China simply so Walmart and the tech company management and owners can make more profit while reducing the benefit that accrues from that economic activity to other Americans is just bad policy. It is also dangerous as once uniquely American technical knowledge and industrial capacity is disseminated to foreign competitors and military adversaries.

That isn't "leftism." That's just America first.

What trash. Should Twitter posts be allowed to be published here?

It’s always a question of “compared to what?”

As a papist, we would hope his guidance isn’t going to come from the Pope. The last one, and the one we are afflicted with now (Popes), are a world apart from conservative Americans. Far left social gospel revolutionary Marxists both of them.

I must be some sort of land magnate.
I own 1/4 of the nearest town.
I own the entire business district.

These things are true.
Its an intersection where there are 3 houses...
...and the business district was a cheese factory and the local underage bar.

Im not going to get too whipped up yet. There are a number of ways parts of some of these things could, with the cooperation of conservatives, come about and still be true.

JD is a construct entirely fabricated and funded by Thiel. We will get far more information by reading things Thiel has said than pondering what JD meant.

"Some of Vance's views are clearly on the left. Is he a leftist? "

Be honest. You posted this because you believe Vance is a leftist and posted this x post to reinforce your beliefs. Confirmation bias.

Does Vance do anything without Peter Thiel’s input ?
