It seems that every article from Jacobin is skewed ever so slightly, not enough to make most think there’s something wrong, but it seems to skew anti-progressive by tone and wording, while being assertive in part to some center (or right-leaning by European standards), and aggressive in language towards selective parts of the far-right while mellowing down the tone against conservatives in general.
It’s like eating candy and discovering that the sugar coating is actually aluminium.

Within the context of US politics, the center left/Democratic Party is the largest political obstacle for socialists. So antagonism towards the center left seems to be rational within that

They do tend to passively address the American Overton window in their articles. I think it's pretty easy to navigate as an American because they do it mostly in the same style of our mainstream media.
The overall dynamics of American political language I think can be pretty jarring to both Europeans and any American trying to first learn about socialism.

Well, it's how it's spelled in pretty much all of the English-speaking world. Barring the USA and Canada.
Edit: my favourite ”whelp” is apparently not what I thought.
