On some level this is Bernie's strength — the point of politics is to get lots of people to support you even if they don't fully align with you. But there's a remarkable level of dissonance in this particular dynamic. — PolitiTweet.org

The contrast between Bernie Sanders' politics and the trajectory of the stars of Bernie Twitter is really something. https://t.co/y49SS4O0nk — PolitiTweet.org

If Biden does as well as Lula in 2024 he’ll very likely lose the Electoral College as Republicans pick up 3-6 senate seats. https://t.co/tSYODPNmfu — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve been on here forever — I know that @TheStalwart genuinely is Joe Wiesenthal from Bloomberg and host of the Odd Lots podcast. But it’s confusing to new users that you can’t tell who’s real and who’s fake. That’s the problem to solve, ideally without killing pseudonymity. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Charging power users for features that most people don’t need or want makes perfect sense. But verification isn’t a power user feature, it’s a terrible implementation of what’s supposed to be a feature for the everyday user. It should help newbies figure out what’s going on. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
But Twitter never made this work and the partial rollout instead turned it into this weird fake class system which in turn has been manipulated by idiots who are trying to drive other people’s resentments. And now the idea that you should pay for the privilege. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
It’s confusing not to know if some account labeled @DavidSacks is David Sacks the prominent VC and GOP fundraiser or some other guy named David Sacks or just someone pulling a prank. That’s a service to the audience, not to the verified person as such. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
No matter how obscure you are there should be a way to convey to the world — if you want to — that this is your real name and your real professional affiliation etc. Because that is a service to the people who are reading the tweets. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Verification should be — and was supposed to be — a system for helping people know that an account that purports to be someone is in fact that person. They started verification by rolling out to the biggest accounts. But it should have gone universal. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Pseudonymous writing has a long and distinguished history. There are also lots of genuinely funny parody or joke accounts. But there’s also an obvious problem — people like to know who they are reading and don’t like to be deceived by fakers. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
A thread on charging for verification — a bad idea that would make a bad system worse. Start with what verification is supposed to be. What is the job to be done? Twitter, unlike Facebook, doesn’t require the use of real names. That has real advantages. — PolitiTweet.org

@Neoavatara I’m going to pull rank and say that I have privileged access to subjective information about my own ideas. Gonna mute this now and deal with the need to need to go block a bunch of unpleasant people brought onto my timeline by your dunk but c’est la vie. — PolitiTweet.org

@Neoavatara Sincerely asking you to purge your mind of your false beliefs about what you think I am saying. Relax. Stretch. Calm yourself. Resist the urge to dunk. Breathe. Open your eyes and read again the words on the page — not the words you think are there. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@Neoavatara I would encourage you to take a deep breath. Pause. Close your eyes. Breath again. Cleanse your mind of preconceptions. Then re-read the exact specific words that I wrote — all of the words that I wrote but no extra words that I didn’t write. And consider what they say. — PolitiTweet.org

I know it goes against the temper of our times, but the idea that international diplomacy should be conducted in public on Twitter with full real-time transparency doesn’t make any sense. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Twitter Discourse seems primarily focused on debating a hypothetical reality in which the US is providing a total blank check to Ukraine. Reality is public statements have been super-supportive (as they should be) with tensions kept backstage (as they should be). — PolitiTweet.org

@balajis To be fair, AG Sulzberger was born in 1981 and was not heavily involved in USSR coverage in the 1930s. — PolitiTweet.org

Heavy digital media use is associated with depression and loneliness among teens in all kinds of families, though an obvious question about the directing of causation here. https://t.co/pA8roRzxys https://t.co/NxUT0YetLD — PolitiTweet.org

As I argued here, on balance I think polls showing Democrats on track for a historically great midterm for the in-party are evidence that the polls are wrong rather than evidence that Dems will do well. But read the data and keep an open mind. https://t.co/Jlw3CfGz8D — PolitiTweet.org

@MattZeitlin @xenocryptsite This kind of thing is becoming devalued thanks to everyone stewing constantly in nationalized digital media and it’s going to really change politics when congress is posters rather than gladhanders. — PolitiTweet.org
