@BenjySarlin if this is a comparison to trump, i will say as i keep saying that trump was a big television star, and reagan was a seasoned actor. youngkin is just some dude — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

anyway the next four years are clearly going to be Youngkin using the commonwealth as a stepping stone to higher office by plunging the place into endless culture war (with tax breaks for his buddies of course) only to get 2% in new hampshire and dropout in 2024. — PolitiTweet.org

i don’t think it is a particularly controversial take to say that Batman: TAS is the single best take on the character and his world — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey @whstancil i reject that — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@ijbailey @whstancil in your vision of how this works, there’s simply no reason for democrats to do anything, because the republican party and its lawmakers will simply never respond to pressure or changing conditions or anything. it is an a vision in which politics simply do not matter. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@ijbailey @whstancil but it clearly was enough to move republicans. if they were completely implacable, why did seven republicans vote for impeachment even after the delay? — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@ijbailey @whstancil To put it in martial terms, just because an army is well-disciplined does not mean that it can’t falter in the face of an unexpected charge, or a sudden collapse of supply lines, or just bad terrain. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@ijbailey @whstancil I do not fault Democrats for the state of the Republican Party. I do fault Democrats for not making the most of the opportunities they have to act, to exert force on the political landscape, to seize the initiative when it becomes available. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@ijbailey @whstancil Maybe it would have worked. Maybe it wouldn’t have. The point is that we do not know. That political life does not actually move on some rigid path, and that there are times when the best move is to take the widest swing and let the chips fall where they may. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@ijbailey @whstancil It may take a lot of force to disturb that equilibrium, but once disturbed, there is space to push Republicans. I believe that Jan. 6 was that force, and that the 24 hours afterwards were the window with which Democrats could exert tremendous force on a disoriented GOP. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@ijbailey @whstancil I think you have an (arguably justified) view of the GOP as completely calcified and unwilling to move. My view is that this is only true to the extent that political conditions are in a kind of equilibrium. — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey @whstancil It is not that Democrats are the only ones with agency. It is that Democrats are, in my opinion, not making the best of the moves they have in this game. — PolitiTweet.org

@whstancil the only way to know is to try, but then by trying you might lose, and worse, be responsible for that loss, and if there’s anything they fear more than losing, it is losing without anyone else to blame. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@whstancil this is the thing that dem leaders and their defenders refuse to understand. we do not actually know how the chips will fall. maybe an aggressive, next-day impeachment would have failed to get a single republican vote. but maybe, in the fear and fog, it wouldn’t have. — PolitiTweet.org

there were also the people who were just stopped in the middle of the road, presumably because they were looking at their phones while waiting in traffic and then forgot to, you know, look up — PolitiTweet.org

it was fun a few days ago when i was almost run over on three separate occasions by driver’s who had their phones clear in front of their faces while speeding down our (entirely too wide) roads https://t.co/9d2acGShw3 — PolitiTweet.org

they’re all terrible but i honestly have more respect for the enthusiastic trump backers who never wavered than i do the spineless worms who complain in private but then grovel and bend the knee in public when it matters. https://t.co/Y77FcLoQGw — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@BobbyBigWheel you see it everywhere. i’d argue that a version of this is the constant drive among democrats to triangulate against an imagined backlash rather than just doing the thing and letting the chips fall where they may — PolitiTweet.org
