He may have woken up a little, but I'm not buying that he's even close to center.

Weinstein is not hard left in the slightest. He condemns the extreme left regularly on his podcast and regularly on his Twitter.

I'm right-leaning, for what it's worth, so we need to be careful to not conflate every liberal with extreme leftists - just as those on the left need not conflate every right-leaning person with the "alt-right".

Let's not play the same game.

Sorry, but he's hard left of center. He just ran into folks that are farther left than him. I am not unfamiliar with him at all. I commend him for condemning the far left and for him not being an a-hole when he disagrees with the right. But that doesn't mean I'm in the same voting block as him.
