I do want to make an exception for the most zealously efficient government operation in the state if not the world: the parking violation enforcers of Santa Monica, San Luis Obispo, Culver City, Beverly Hills, and West Hollywood. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
The California progressive's combination of always wanting more government while utterly failing to make any of it work efficiently is maddening. If you're going to be a high tax state at least excel in delivering infrastructure or services or ideally both instead of neither. — PolitiTweet.org

I'd be curious to see the results of @elonmusk enabling a spot where private entities can sell distinct badges of various sorts--signifying verification or anything as they define it (ACLU membership, donated to Trump, etc)--& Twitter takes a cut of the private marketplace. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@VaclavHavel9 Yes. The free market has been and will continue to respond and prevail much more reliably than a system where power is traded between two factions of politicians, at least one of which you disagree with — PolitiTweet.org

@realchrisrufo If Liberty Fund or something in the same *constructive off the record conversation* spirit did a conference exploring this question would you be open to attending? — PolitiTweet.org

@astanley711 @extramsg Do the gender studies people agree or do they want everything gender studies together? It seems like some things fit in multiple categories and you have to make judgment calls that won't satisfy everyone, rather than *the system is biased* but I could be misunderstanding — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@astanley711 Being against *that* is simple enough but I thought the critique was *the system is biased* rather than *books are being categorized inaccurately within the system* — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@realchrisrufo We could respond to that in two ways: a push toward neutrality or a push toward coercing conservative outcomes. I favor the first, you favor the second, correct? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@astanley711 But wouldn't a political scientist have a symmetrical complaint where they go to social science shelves looking for Obama and some are in history? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@dan_jeezy Achieving a state that was neutral among Christian religions once seemed impossible, yet we achieved it. Then we got more and more consistent at extending universal religious liberty. So why is what I suggest impossible instead of similar to that? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
I'm not sure I understand this. Is the history section somehow better than the social sciences section? And should different books about the same president be in both sections depending on the content? https://t.co/jW0voopERP — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@dan_jeezy I agree that they are not "inherently" neutral. And I did not advocate folding ones arms, but rather, fighting for their actual neutrality. — PolitiTweet.org

If true it's ingenious as price discrimination if not clarity of identity. — PolitiTweet.org

@BlueHose1000 Lol. When was the standing down period? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
The presumption that neutrality is not a myth with regard to religion has served the countries that adopted it rather well, even when that hasn't been 100 percent true. Striving toward it and building mechanisms to get closer is the least bad alternative. — PolitiTweet.org

@conor64 Assuming neutrality is not a myth
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
This gets at one way my politics differ from Chris's anti-woke politics as well as woke politics. They want to elect pols who marshal state power to fight the culture wars as they prefer. I want pols who refuse to use the state to coerce any cultural outcome, preferring liberty. — PolitiTweet.org

It's pretty great that no faction in our domestic politics controls dragons. — PolitiTweet.org

@JDHaltigan @MelVillain1 Haley has both executive and foreign policy experience and doesn't seem to be nutty or to pander to the worst impulses of voters, so yes, a far, far better choice than Lake on many different dimensions! — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@JDHaltigan @MelVillain1 I think Harris is a terrible VP for many reasons and don't trust her on FP. She does have significantly more FP experience than someone with literally zero. Simply don't force voters to choose between them and instead nominate someone more qualified — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@JDHaltigan @MelVillain1 I find urging a VP without any foreign policy knowledge to betray a staggering lack of judgement. I guess we just have to disagree on that. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@SarahTheHaider "Top articles" definitely appeals to me. Would also like a built in bookmarking tool for links and tweets I want to save — PolitiTweet.org

@JDHaltigan @MelVillain1 What do you find to be her most persuasive demonstration of foreign affairs knowledge? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@JDHaltigan @MelVillain1 Set aside experience for a moment. How about knowledge and understanding? Has she demonstrated any on foreign policy? Do you think she could find Ukraine on a map? Or do you not think that would be a relevant test for a would be president? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@MelVillain1 @JDHaltigan J.D. is ready to turn over the next D Day to her because he likes her Fox News zingers — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@JDHaltigan No, that strikes me as utterly nonsensical — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@JDHaltigan You sound like one of those liberals who wants to elect Martin Sheen president — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@JDHaltigan Lol. Please explain what about her demeanor alone makes you confident that she would be a competent commander in chief. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@JDHaltigan "Experience is desirable but not necessary" is a weird argument for someone you're choosing. Why not instead pick a person with the desirable quality? Do you care more about someone who throws punches in the media than someone best able to protect and defend America? — PolitiTweet.org
