The critique wasn't that being an elite, or holding a viewpoint that differs from the majority, is suspect or wrong, but rather that effective elites should cultivate an accurate understanding of public opinion and many haven't done so. — PolitiTweet.org

What does this even mean, dude who attended the London School of Economics? Is that elite? Is attending college eli… https://t.co/2Q5IlBowFR

Here by the way is a powerful and incisive critique of a prominent part of American sports. https://t.co/u87kK28Dzz — PolitiTweet.org

@admcgregor85 How are you defining "powerful" when you characterize it as a powerful field? — PolitiTweet.org

I have thought this so many times: "Why is that car-rental employee typing for so long? We’ll never know." You already have my name, credit card, address, and driver's license on file! https://t.co/LWqhQ1Czkp — PolitiTweet.org

It isn't this person or his work that's frustrating, it's a larger academic subculture where views like his can be presented in question begging ways that fail to flesh out or support basic assumptions, even ones that educated observers would widely contest or reject — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
I would find the Madden is analogous to plantation slavery thesis less annoying if its proponent acknowledged that most people who thought critically about it would reject it instead of implying that only lack of critical thought explains the failure to embrace his conclusion — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@MonicaBaumann If I wanted engagement for its own sake I'd repost the hippo eating a watermelon. Here I'd like a broader acknowledgement that academia no less than right populist web media has a question-begging nonsense problem that undermines its credibility and warrants pushback. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@MonicaBaumann I for one think community college students no less than Ivy League students deserve professors whose scholarly analysis isn't question begging nonsense — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
SAT compromise: replace the analogies section with one pass/fail question about whether the John Madden video game is analogous to plantation slavery. — PolitiTweet.org

If Omicron now takes off in New Zealand that should decisively end all debate about whether anyone could have "done better" and stopped its spread. https://t.co/UwDMasCKtg — PolitiTweet.org

I'm reminded of this https://t.co/A18oUgJANj — PolitiTweet.org

I would be fascinated to know what the writer believes public opinion to be about the things that are declared "cool" or "cringe" in the piece. — PolitiTweet.org

This article contains the phrase "our collective pop cultural understanding of Hillary Clinton." https://t.co/78TXZnfkTh — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey @jiminyjobbers55 Yes, the police department it describes sounds like a mess. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey The framing of the question makes no sense if you agree that defund does not deserve support. I thought that meant you supported defund. As it turns out, it meant you framed the question in a nonsensical way. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@jiminyjobbers55 @ijbailey Indeed. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@Krispi_Largo @jbenmenachem @ijbailey No, they're not. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey You are taking a story about one jurisdiction and extrapolating to the general conclusion that police reform is impossible. The facts contradict that general conclusion. But per usual Radley's story is good and important. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @jiminyjobbers55 Are you denying that many significant police reforms have passed? Or that matters are significantly improved compared to a decade or two ago? No, we're not where we need to be. Yes, reform is not only possible, it has demonstrably happened. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @jiminyjobbers55 The premise is incorrect. Reform is not "impossible." Many reforms have passed! — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@jbenmenachem @ijbailey Do you think the NYPD is a fascist death squad? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey Again, your premise is flawed. Lots of serious police reforms have in fact passed. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey Your premise is flawed. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@JeffreyASachs @ijbailey Sure but Democrats control most big city governments in America. If they were behind reducing the power of police unions they could affect huge swaths of American policing. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ASFleischman @ijbailey I don't underestimate it. A sophisticated political game and being revered are very different things — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey Your question is itself a deflection from the obvious downside costs of defunding the police. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey I dispute the premise that police unions are revered. Voters would be fine defanging them. Other public sector unions and their hold on the Democratic Party are the obstacle there. — PolitiTweet.org
