- gadders 6y agoOh agreed. He's very left wing. You could argue, though, that Assange/WikiLeaks isn't very popular with the left due to how they helped torpedo Clinton's campaign.
- 9HZZRfNlpR 6y agoAssange is your typical cold war era anti war guy, it was sick how suddenly the American left wing spat on her for shitting on status quo. He was a messiah for the left when he did the same for Bush administration. Anyone remember Palins emails? At least for Clinton there was something to reveal.
- gadders 6y agoYeah, I think he is one of these activists that will call people out whatever side of the political spectrum and so spends his time oscillating between which side dislikes him most.
- Miner49er 6y ago"The left" doesn't like Clinton either. There's a big difference American liberals and leftists, and it doesn't make much sense to group them together. I'd say the vast majority of those on the left have a favorable view of Assange.
