@dwallacewells @davidshor Comparing March 2022 to March 2020 (latest EIA data) US output is down 1.2 million barrels per day. At the same time we have sanctions on Russia, Iran, and Venezuela all aimed at reducing their output. — PolitiTweet.org

"Inclusive language" seems like a really good idea. Just requires some actual thought as to which choices are in fact inclusive and of whom. — PolitiTweet.org

@SpecialPuppy1 Obtaining reputation as a hard-core culture warrior while not actually doing the major right-wing policy asks seems like a pretty significant skill. — PolitiTweet.org

@KyBusiness @liberalnotlefty I don’t think it’s a “dunk” at all. But conservatives have often argued that fatherless children is a major cause of mass shootings (for example) so I’m curious if they have any mitigation strategies in mind. https://t.co/l8MVueLbnP — PolitiTweet.org

House of Drăculești was a little too awesome for certain Slavic haters so they made up stories about supernatural evil in Wallachia. — PolitiTweet.org

This is total nonsense. Everyone knows vampires are anti-Romanian propaganda. https://t.co/y9LZN6uE15 — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidOAtkins I don’t really think Montana is the relevant margin here. To return to the tweet we started with, *Biden voters* with incomes below $100k want to prioritize cheap energy. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@DavidOAtkins This seems like a much better plan than electoral wipeout depriving us of any opportunity to use policy to drive down the cost of clean energy, but ymmv. — PolitiTweet.org

@SpecialPuppy1 In many ways Mitt Romney (moved right on immigration, improved GOP vote share with affluent non-college whites while alienating Hispanics) was the candidate who people think Trump (moved left on entitlement, improved GOP vote share with lower-income people) was. — PolitiTweet.org

A different cut at this. If Democrats were to nominate a governor for president in 2024, I think the optimal choice would be someone who has won in a blueish purple (Polis) or redish purple (Whitmer) or straight-up red (Kelly, Beshear, Cooper) state. — PolitiTweet.org

@BanUnsweetTea @IrvingSwisher The environmental movement very genuinely argued that the Fed should have cut off the entire fossil fuel sector from liquidity during the pandemic, and then they got Biden to nominate a proponent of that view to the board. Stuff from the groups is real. — PolitiTweet.org

@BradWilcoxIFS A separate question: Have you redone the county analysis for the 2020 election results? There’ve been some major realignments and I wonder if the relationship got stronger or weaker. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@BradWilcoxIFS I totally get what you’re saying. What I’m saying is that the mechanical impact of banning abortion is likely going to be a rise in the number of fatherless children, and I’m curious if anyone has any qualms about that. For you it seems like the answer is “no qualms.” — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
I won’t suggest any specific examples, just to say that *everyone* should probably try to be mindful about how they react to expression of views they disagree with — if someone agrees with you about some stuff but not others, do you want them kicked out or do you want their vote? — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Great illustration of the risks of “negative intersectionality” — whichever coalition seems more chill and hospitable to people who disagree with it about some stuff will win, because very few people *consistently* support the standard views of either party. — PolitiTweet.org
Xenocrypt @xenocryptsite
In the GSS, 54% of people support "abortion if woman wants for any reason", and 57% of people say taxes on the rich… https://t.co/ikWgu9uMwA

We ended up having a catastrophic recession that wiped the inflation that was happening earlier in 2008 off the map, so we never really got to see how it would’ve played out — arugula aside, Democrats’ plan was to message it as a consequence of Bush’s war and tax cuts. — PolitiTweet.org

@RichardHanania @AliceFromQueens That seems like a relatively simplistic understanding of addiction dynamics; I doubt opioid users are on net more joyful than abstainers. — PolitiTweet.org

@karlbykarlsmith Absolutely — conservatives were wrong the first time, feelings are important! — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
It’s pretty funny how fast the right went full circle from “facts don’t care about your feelings” and trigger warnings are evil to pure subjectivism about curriculum design. https://t.co/H7zGMcN5Iy https://t.co/vmy0hhhRob — PolitiTweet.org

It would be better to reduce the considerable regulatory barriers to zero-carbon energy than try to raise higher barriers to oil & gas extraction. https://t.co/wvpyYGjYbN — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Personally, I think climate change *is* very important but that supply construction is an extremely high cost means of trying to address it that doesn’t make a ton of substance sense. https://t.co/6hmHLU58E3 — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Now I think there is a totally reasonable view that would say something like “climate is super-important and it’s worth the cost in terms of increased odds of losing elections” but one has to reconcile that with views about the fate of democracy being on the line etc — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
People sometimes express frustration that the idea of “return to Obama-era positioning” is vague, but there’s a very clear difference here and I think near-universal agreement that energy costs are a big deal politically. https://t.co/VOVtMueX7M https://t.co/c5wBklzbbM — PolitiTweet.org
