What if everyone rallied to weaken qualified immunity and union collective bargaining power over disciplinary issues and then we did those things and people’s lives got better? Good idea imo. — PolitiTweet.org

More on this later but the problem with “defund the police” is that it’s a bad idea on the merits! Virtually every Democrat rightly rejected it so I doubt it cost them at the polls, but activists shouldn’t push bad ideas that end up distracting attention from better ones. — PolitiTweet.org

I call “not it” but someone (@ddayen???) should do the take that the lesson of the election is Democrats should’ve driven a much harder bargain with CARES even if it ultimately meant wrecking the economy because a wrecked economy would’ve led to a true repudiation of Trumpism. — PolitiTweet.org
