And where are they on the Left? Social Democrats, Anarchists, Marxists? They don't identify their politics, and the content of their thinking is not Leftist.
Both more fit the politics of radical right-wing populism. Both tirelessly critique the Democratic Party and liberals for corruption or hypocrisy, but neither is explicitly anti-capitalist left. Both have been apologists for Trump, Mate on the Grey Zone and Johnstone in articles. Its telling that Max Blumenthal Mate's comrade at the Grey Zoen is now on the Right, appearing only on rightwing media. Mate along with Blumenthal were big supporters of Jimmy Dore both appearing regularly on his show, himself a right-wing populist Trump supporter.
