Comedy is now legal on Twitter — if clearly specified. — PolitiTweet.org

Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying “parody” will be permanently suspended

@drvolts Okay: Media effects and the information environment have genuine impacts on politics, but I don’t think *changes* in the information environment between 2012 (when Fox, Rush, etc were all around) and 2022 explain much about why Dems have done worse with less educated voters. — PolitiTweet.org

@drvolts Should we do a proper argument about “misinformation” where I state a thesis and then you say whether or not you agree with it? — PolitiTweet.org

So anyways, yes, the war will need a negotiated diplomatic settlement but Joe Biden is not the person stopping that from happening. We should be open to talks but continuing to help Ukraine score wins on the battlefield. https://t.co/rilvwPKb9Z — PolitiTweet.org

Amazing that the Biden administration would do a quiet diplomacy without running it by conservative VC Twitter first. https://t.co/0eFQRoSZBp — PolitiTweet.org

@jneeley78 There was a bunch of summertime press about these disputes. The party committees and aligned superpacs interpret their mission narrowly to maximize seats won by any means necessary and it’s a dumb way to think about politics. https://t.co/r97O5CcGRJ — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@jneeley78 My rule of thumb about the seriousness of political arguments: For all X most of the arguments offered for X and most of the arguments offered for not-X will be stupid, so it’s always your right to say “most of the people are disagree with are being dumb.” — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@jneeley78 Yes, exactly, you missed it. Since unlike you I’m a Democrat, I was exposed to tons and tons and tons of tedious internal bickering and disputes about it. — PolitiTweet.org

“If Republicans really believed the Left was a menace to the fundamentals of western civilization they would stop trying to cut Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.” Maybe? Surely some of them are insincere. But others are conflict, just haven’t thought hard, or are dumb. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
More broadly, though, the form of argument that goes “if Y is true then logically you should do X but you’re not doing X and therefore you don’t believe Y” is invalid (look up doxastic logic) — people do things that are irrational or unreasonable all the time. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Here’s my answer: One important reason that “Democrats” sometimes do contradictory things is that there are a lot of different Democrats and they have different opinions. — PolitiTweet.org

Seems like a better approach would be for candidates to day things that appeal to the median voter while party-aligned groups (“the base”) urge people to amplify them for tactical and strategy gain. — PolitiTweet.org
