@chrislhayes It is worth saying that “provoking the other side into an insane violent response that discredits them in the eyes of normal people” is a pretty classic mode through which non-violent protest works. — PolitiTweet.org

I guess my slightly spicy EA take is that there’s too much complacency about not being funding constrained, and it would actually be really useful to raise dramatically more money. — PolitiTweet.org

@StefanFSchubert I probably should have spelled “writes” correctly — PolitiTweet.org

It feels like there are three pieces per week on EA Forum with the thesis that an increase in EA funding could be counterintuitively bad and nobody ever rights a post with the boring but more correct-sounding thesis that it’s good. — PolitiTweet.org

There is *nothing* more lame than telling people to “vote harder” as a response to a gutting Supreme Court case — it’s lame lame lame lame lame lame. But it’s also true that state-level abortion policy will very closely correlate with partisan balance in state legislatures. — PolitiTweet.org

The idea that perceptions of Democrats are 100% of the product of Fox News and totally unrelated to the actions and positions of Democratic Party politicians seems obviously wrong to me, and I don’t even think the people who say it on here believe it. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

But one function of Roe, traditionally, was to block Republicans from overreaching. Now they certainly will in some states and likely will on a national level as well — there’s a huge opportunity to re-seize the political high ground. https://t.co/fyGDtdMs4g — PolitiTweet.org

Since 2012, Democrats have adopted more progressive positions on a very wide range of issues. The goal, I assume, was to enact more progressive policies. But the actual result has been to contribute to the opposite happening. https://t.co/VOVtMueX7M — PolitiTweet.org

In 2016: — 49% of voters saw Hillary Clinton as to their left — 33% of voters saw Donald Trump as to their right That was a big advantage for Trump which let him win and let him fill all these Supreme Court seats. https://t.co/frPnelso3w — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

I mean the obvious answer is that Hillary Clinton should have adopted more moderate positions on issues in 2016, allowing her to win slightly more votes and become president. That’s the central failure of Democratic strategy over the past decade. https://t.co/0h0E43J4e4 — PolitiTweet.org

@ilyseh As long as we agree it wouldn’t have worked absent the difference in strategic timing of retirements, I’m satisfied. — PolitiTweet.org

I am open to correction on this point if someone can think of a column I’ve forgotten, but I don’t believe I have ever written on behalf of the cause of “white guys make jokes w/o consequence.” — PolitiTweet.org
