    The article I saw said he was getting more “political“ recently, not explicitly more left-wing…

      If you didn’t vote in '22 or '24, and had the ability, you’re not a progressive or liberal, full stop.

      I wish I had it saved since I’m at work and can’t do a good enough search, but yeah the quick search I’m doing now is only pulling up “more political.” Could have been that the article was wrong and has since been corrected.

        It’s also an easy misunderstanding to make for a journalist or online commentator because typically when somebody decries somebody “making something political” or “getting more political”, they mean in a way that they are not because to them, “their views aren’t political” even though they absolutely are.

      Yeah and if he had been getting more lefty they would have said that, not the intentionally vague “more political”.
