One of GPT-3's main flaws is that the prose it generates has a kind of stilted, school essay voice but that makes it perfect for writing brief school essays. — PolitiTweet.org

One of the many ironies of contemporary politics is that amidst this huge partisan controversy over election rules, it now looks pretty clear that Democrats have the edge in low-turnout elections. — PolitiTweet.org

@ILickett Well if you generated a huge increase in tax revenue it would be easy to subsidize needy families — PolitiTweet.org

@alon_levy Yes but there’s more federal entanglement with health care because of how Medicare, Medicaid, ERISA, and the tax treatment of health benefits works so I think you probably need some cooperation there. — PolitiTweet.org

There are plenty of areas where state-based policymaking doesn’t work but preschool and childcare stuff in particular are inherently local services — and in DC where we have universalish preschool I think everyone likes it a lot. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

On a lot of progressive welfare state ideas that didn’t pan out in this congress — free public college, preschool, child allowance — there are no major logistical impediments to progressive states just doing it and trying to create compelling models. — PolitiTweet.org

Meanwhile, here’s a chart of “the economy” which is still rough for Dems but now clearly improving. https://t.co/zPNgFIWJ8P — PolitiTweet.org

The economy is the most important factor in politics but abortion rights look clearly like one of the best things for Democratic candidates to talk about (in a politically savvy way that highlights GOP extremism and engages with conservative values) https://t.co/Xr99ZSsLrp https://t.co/lnx9uijFKW — PolitiTweet.org

Don’t treat Bay Area trends as typical of “cities” or “coastal cities” or “expensive cities” fully five out of nine jurisdictions with declining nominal rent are in the San Francisco area and none of the other four are in pricey coastal metros. https://t.co/pjERjrq6HL https://t.co/XInVjnOrAe — PolitiTweet.org

There are huge downsides here but also a lot of practical steps we could be taking and aren’t for no good reason. https://t.co/8NGDNvK35X https://t.co/IYL9dCzSx0 — PolitiTweet.org

I was going to argue more about student loan debt forgiveness but I realized the “volume of argument” to “objective significance” ratio there is off the charts. By contrast, preventing pandemics is badly under-discussed relative to the risks. https://t.co/8NGDNvK35X — PolitiTweet.org

@firasd I think that’s true but even so it will be good for people to get the undergrad training in technical areas even if what they end up doing is teaching middle school math or working in random middle management. — PolitiTweet.org
