Again, people with radically different ideologies can come to the same conclusions.
As for the aftermath of the Capitol Hill riots, you are aware that it's been proposed to make the fencing around the Capitol permanent, and that the National Guard deployment is being regularly extended, now, I believe, at least through some time in May? (In addition to the corporate authoritarianism I pointed out.)
Actually, I don't know what you mean. Because what I see is that when someone raises a legitimate concern about, say, how Neera Tanden wanted to
cut Social Security or
steal Libya's oil, they were often met not with anything addressing those substantive concerns but rather with a reminder that she would be the first Indian-American (maybe even Asian-American) to head the OMB.
Or when people raised questions about
Janet Yellen having given paid speeches at Citadel and thus whether she could be impartial in the Robinhood investigation (never mind that her ethics agreement required her to recuse herself from such deliberations), Jen Psaki said, essentially, she deserved that money and how dare you criticize the first female Treasury Secretary.
The same was said regarding Hillary Clinton in 2016, of course; countless reminders that she would be the first female President if elected. (Going by that logic, of course, if it's so important to have a woman in a role like that, all of those people should have voted Republican in 2008 so that Sarah Palin could be the first female Vice President.)
As for distrusting the vote count, Greenwald's not wrong to document just how incredibly rickety the entire US electoral process is. A good journalist reports the
facts, no matter who those facts might favour.
As for the "left", just going to say, the bulk of Democratic leadership in the US would probably fit ideologically into a party like Germany's Free Democrats (fiscally conservative but socially liberal).
Which not too long ago saw one of its members elected Minister-President of Thuringia with the support of AfD members of the Landtag. Saying that they're on the "left" is a reflection of how skewed the US's Overton Window is, not an accurate reflection of their political views compared to actual leftist politicians.
EDIT:
They're putting that stimulus check on the back burner, they're putting the minimum wage hike on the back burner, and they're dropping bombs on Syria right now, and those bombs are kind of expensive for a dude who owes me two thousand dollars.
