Italy has major interregional disparities in health care funding, especially striking given that they use global budgets and capitation. https://t.co/RciGRjmdTX https://t.co/zOgylMjhSc — PolitiTweet.org

Folks you can't get mad at me for offering this *as an example* of something that would make online progressives worked up. That's self-refuting. — PolitiTweet.org

One thing I know for sure about Donald Trump is that if DeSantis beats him fair and square in a primary, he'll accept the results and put the interests of his working-class grassroots conservative supporters first by working like hell to help the GOP ticket beat the Democrats. — PolitiTweet.org

That one is too niche. Try — "we should expand Medicaid to address the problems of the uninsured, but the US health insurance status quo works well for most people." — PolitiTweet.org

Of course what Europe lacks in ice it makes up in having a thoughtful Christian Democratic political tradition that supports a family-friendly welfare state. This seems unlikely to arrive in the United States. https://t.co/C2RnZwZOBa — PolitiTweet.org

Staying at an AirBNB in the Iceless Continent. The kitchen has a freezer but no ice cube trays. Other adults on the trip, thinking of making cocktails later, asked me to look for ice cube trays at the supermarket in town but there are none for sale. — PolitiTweet.org

@alon_levy @nkatsinas1 Yes the wage situation was doing well for a while but the trends are now negative and people are mad. If they become positive again they’ll be happy. — PolitiTweet.org

@alon_levy I think it’s a good idea! He campaigned in 2016 on a lot of draconian interior enforcement ideas that he mostly didn’t do. Switch to external focus helped him in 2020, Biden can’t deliver here but Trump could make the pivot. — PolitiTweet.org

It's time for Donald Trump to consolidate his gains with Hispanic voters by pairing his support for tough border policies with embracing a path to citizenship for millions of long-settled undocumented residents of the country. — PolitiTweet.org

@alon_levy It is, yes. — PolitiTweet.org

People forget how insane the political hothouse was on the time — Beto got slammed by the left for proposing a $5 trillion spending initiative on climate change. Mayor Pete's plan to allow everyone to enroll in Medicare was "moderate." https://t.co/2AmV1fbk2Q — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

But we got Biden instead. And while the public has clearly become disgruntled with Biden because the economy is bad, Twitter personalities continue to be disgruntled because he's been unable to deliver on sweeping policy changes nobody could have delivered. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

I thought the whole Democratic primary debate over domestic policy was ridiculous (it was) and that Biden's agenda was much too left-wing to pass (it was) so all this stuff people were arguing about was pointless (it was) but with Bernie you'd get less whining. — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

My two worries about Biden were that he'd be too hawkish on foreign policy and too austerity-minded on fiscal issues (this was before Covid shook things up) which were my two key pro-Bernie points on the merits. But Biden has been good on those things. https://t.co/sbxRZpZkm7 — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

One thing that I got right in the 2020 primaries, I think, is that if Bernie had won the nomination that would have made cranky leftists a lot happier with a near-identical lack of dramatic left-wing policy change. — PolitiTweet.org

One of the big points of a national presidential campaign is to "remind" partisans of how partisan they really are. — PolitiTweet.org
