@ijbailey Absolutely, I agree. But to an extent that's life. You get change and you get pushback and there are no guarantees of success. You're still better off with a smart, disciplined strategy than a bad one. — PolitiTweet.org

Even something really simple like emphasizing Trump's continuities with previous conservative politicians rather than emphasizing the differences could help achieve partial reversion. https://t.co/bfGtM4S9cc — PolitiTweet.org

Returning to the 2012 political alignment isn't trivial, but I think if you look at the scope of position changes that Democrats made over the past ten years it's clear that you could achieve partial reversion by changing some of the positioning back. https://t.co/VOVtMueX7M — PolitiTweet.org

It is absolutely true that we have seen this pattern, but it's also true that we've seen the reverse pattern. A guy named Barack Obama, for example, won a majority of the vote from low-income white people in 2008 and again in 2012. https://t.co/EM9EKccjSe — PolitiTweet.org

"Keep 90+% of abortions legal but ban discretionary late-term abortions" is absolutely the political sweet spot and I'd advise swing state politicians to adopt it, but it seems a lot closer to the pro-choice view than to the pro-life one. — PolitiTweet.org

Would anti-abortion people be satisfied with an abortion ban that leaves at least 92% (realistically more with health/life exemptions) of abortions legal? I agree this is a politically palatable position but that's because it basically doesn't change much. — PolitiTweet.org

Even in the realm of Trump scandal coverage, I think these efforts to vitiate free speech attract too little attention relative to other matters. He failed to wield the punitive apparatus of the state in this way but he might succeed next time with a more loyal team. — PolitiTweet.org

It seems like the senate polling is just obviously biased in the same places as it was in 2020 in roughly the same ways and everyone is pretending this isn’t the case for no good reason. — PolitiTweet.org

Taking racism seriously as a problem should mean acknowledging that this is dangerous stuff and exercising some restraint about psychodrama and performance in favor of real thinking about the interests of vulnerable people and how to advance them. https://t.co/vrWvcVqFxW — PolitiTweet.org

But it is not limited to Covid — getting white people to think about the racial composition of welfare beneficiaries makes them less supportive. Telling white people about racial disparities in criminal justice makes them less supportive of reform. https://t.co/vrWvcVqFxW https://t.co/y7xrmE6CvJ — PolitiTweet.org

I expand this with the observation that “antiracist” hyper-attention to racial disparities appears in practice to often be directly counterproductive and makes people *not* want to address the issue. We see that with Covid. https://t.co/vrWvcVqFxW https://t.co/deied9Ih5l — PolitiTweet.org

We also absolutely *could* do a large tax increase in order to finance a large increase in subsidies to the child care sector so that child care centers could outbid retail and food service for labor. But I think a plan that has zero (or negative) fiscal cost is appealing. — PolitiTweet.org
