> Many of these are not actually economically leftist or antiwar, and the ones that were have moved toward more of a centrist neoliberal position in recent year

  To be honest, I think I mixed up your comment with another person who mentioned several other sources including Daily Kos (which used to have a pretty good left presence that was almost completely driven off the site in 2016). Some of the sources you cited are somewhat to the left, although I would characterize most of them as progressive left and not "leftist," which to me implies something like democratic socialism, syndicalism, libertarian socialism, or something even farther left. (That said, The Nation does have a front page article up from Chomsky! Good on them.) After 2016, I noticed that many progressive outlets spent some time dipping their toes into neoliberalism -- lots of subtly pro-capitalist and pro-interventionist pieces, basically cheerleading the pre-2016 global order -- and as a result I tuned out from most of them. This may have changed? I revisited some of the names you mentioned and I don't see it so strongly anymore.
