@rinanpakkala I agree. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
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
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
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
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
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.

I'm sorry but you can't ally with Donald Trump and then complain that the other side "doesn't care about norms." Come on. — PolitiTweet.org

@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

@LukeThompson360 @rinanpakkala I'd love to read this critique fleshed out. I'm not sure I understand it in short form. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@rinanpakkala @LukeThompson360 Doesn't it leave *more* not *fewer* things up to democracy than you and I might want? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@LukeThompson360 @rinanpakkala I've heard conservatives say the same about proponents of a living constitution but I disagree with both takes and think both the federalist society and its critics have plausible accounts of how best to interpret the Constitution — PolitiTweet.org

@rinanpakkala I'm not sure I understand the question. Do you mean because of the outcome of this apparent decision? Or the Garland thing? Or something else? — PolitiTweet.org

*Punish 35 innocent to get rid of one guilty* is not an approach that would increase my faith in the Supreme Court as an institution. — PolitiTweet.org

Not the first time. But neither the public health police nor the misinformation police ever seem to care about the invisible graveyard, as the mood affiliation isn't right. (Yeah, I know, "Tell me you're an MR reader without...") — PolitiTweet.org

@Johnjoh54179240 My argument against Carlson in this thread is not at all based on those statements. I highlighted them yesterday to underscore how much Carlson's rhetoric has changed. That is irrelevant to this argument. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
(Clarification: I know that it *does* infuriate some of you. I refer in the above tweet to those who aren't infuriated, even though they would never permit themselves to behave as Carlson does.) — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
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
