But this relates to my last thought on Reeves' book, which is that I think contemporary society should maybe do a better job of conveying to young people that some things actually haven't changed that much. https://t.co/Cilf75FtZI https://t.co/9iNQFgB75W — PolitiTweet.org

Several of Reeves' proposals have this character. Building a better early education system including redshirting of five year-olds when appropriate is a good idea and doesn't require a sex-specific analysis. Same with better vocational learning. https://t.co/Cilf75FtZI https://t.co/JLU5CJZOzo — PolitiTweet.org

My biggest quibble with Reeves — as in other contexts, I'm skeptical that identitarian framings make it easier to help people or solve problems. That the people struggling in school are mostly boys is interesting but not necessarily central to solutions. https://t.co/Cilf75FtZI https://t.co/5ZwI3GlgOF — PolitiTweet.org

Are boys and young men in crisis? If so what should we do about it? A review of @RichardvReeves’s thought-provoking new book. https://t.co/Cilf75FtZI — PolitiTweet.org

@michaeljcoelho @nilocobau Yes … but you’re the one who said there are no state taxes. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

@michaeljcoelho @nilocobau But I mean the government does *some* stuff in Texas, right? There are cops, schools, roads, etc. If there are no state taxes how does that get paid for? — PolitiTweet.org

@ElieNYC Yes of course it would be a big deal — I never said otherwise. What I said is that the electoral impact is ambiguous and unpredictable. It was a very clear post, you misconstrued it, and you’ve spent hours refusing to say “I was wrong to say that.” It’s been a vexing day. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

@ElieNYC I’m not deflecting anything; I made a specific claim. You then invented a different claim, attributed the fake claim to me, and invited me to go jump in a lake. I wish you would just admit you were wrong! — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

@ElieNYC What happened here is that I didn’t offer an opinion as to whether or not it is a big deal. I responded to a specific claim about electoral impact, you blew up at me, I tried to correct you, and instead of admitting you were wrong you’re being weird. — PolitiTweet.org

Amazing to be the Donald Trump Party and then put stuff like this out. https://t.co/zYhDEzm3Jl — PolitiTweet.org

@AmesCG @oneunderscore__ Again, if you want to complain to him about bringing up the electoral implications that’s great — he’s the one who did it. I have no informed view on the rest so I didn’t express a view. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

@oneunderscore__ I think that rather than people who work at fancy universities you should try to run this by some working campaign professionals since you’re the one making claims about the midterms. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

@AmesCG Absolutely, but what happened here is @oneunderscore__ made a specific claim about electoral implications. I disputed that claim. If you think electoral implications aren’t what’s important here then go complain to him, the person who brought it up. — PolitiTweet.org
