I’m trying to engage sympathetically with her view. Warren from the Antonio Weiss confirmation fight through to her hits on Michael Bloomberg has been very clear that purging the party of business Dems is a desired outcome. — PolitiTweet.org

If Warren had rallied working class Americans to her banner then alienating a small number of rich tech executives would be a small price to pay. But she didn’t accomplish that at all either. Identity politics for nonprofit workers and academics is a dead end. — PolitiTweet.org

I think the idea that Elizabeth Warren might have done things to push a rich electric car entrepreneur with hazy political opinions is pretty plausible — I think what Warren would say regarding her alienation of rich tech founders is “I welcome their hatred.” — PolitiTweet.org

@EddieDeeee @awprokop “Exact same polling bias as last time” seems more plausible on its face than “president’s party will defy history amongst iffy economic conditions.” — PolitiTweet.org

It seems like people are becoming more deranged, but I think the biggest factor is that Twitter ends up disproportionately amplifying takes that are two standard deviations more deranged than whatever most people are saying. — PolitiTweet.org
