If you tell me you fear the other party is imminently going to permanently end democracy in America, and you're also not willing to compromise on your least electorally popular ideas to cater to the median voter, I have a hard time believing you really think those are the stakes. — PolitiTweet.org

No one has ever correctly predicted partisan majorities a few decades out. You are not going to be the first, especially if your prediction is three or more decades of rule by the same party. — PolitiTweet.org

@larabazelon @ACLU To having one of their biggest donors buy a major tech platform with promises to expand free speech there... and putting out a statement of concern mood-affiliating with the progressive faction that puts free speech in scare quotes. — PolitiTweet.org

I get the sense that people with pro-life and pro-choice beliefs have not been talking to one another much in recent years. The always thoughtful @sladesr and @ENBrown are exceptions https://t.co/NGXUlWXI5r — PolitiTweet.org

I would certainly like to see the @ACLU defend a free speech culture as full-throatedly as it defends its other advocacy areas. Is its internal culture sufficiently supportive of free speech to do that? I'd like transparency on that point. — PolitiTweet.org

Lara Bazelon @larabazelon

Growing up, I saw the @ACLU as a beacon of free speech, bravely standing up to the powerful. Now, on so many levels, I see them as a fraud.

@EliJamesJones96 @rinanpakkala @LukeThompson360 I agree that there's no partisan consistency. But *this question shall be decided by state legislatures, not SCOTUS* is the more democratic approach, even if it is, on many questions, an approach I disagree with, preferring to protect liberty against the wishes of majorities. — PolitiTweet.org

Some of you don't realize the way in which Carlson's willingness to be intellectually dishonest betrays the contempt he has for his audience. Those of you who are intellectually honest right-leaning journalists do understand it & I don't get why it doesn't infuriate you. — PolitiTweet.org

Arguing with right populists and left populists is alike in that they fixate on one's race, presume that an elaborate power-status hierarchy drives everything, and malign one's motives rather than engaging on substance. That mode kills clarity and constructive engagement. — PolitiTweet.org
