I need a better litmus test and more and more it looks like that litmus test has to be: will they call themselves the C word and refuse to demonize any of the US's official enemies?
the litmus test is ukraine. it's easy to be right on palestine. It's a lot more difficult to be right about Syria or Ukriane
and to clarify, because I know somebody in bad faith is gonna come in here and give the 'muh optics' argument - I'm not saying they have to be pro-russia or have been pro-assad. They just need to oppose arming and funding Ukraine and call for an end of the proxy war, and opposed funding and arming FSA/Al-Nusra/ISIS/Al Qaeda.
