@mattyglesias I’ve read these columns and it seems like you are saying Democrats should say things that are popular, which is already what they are doing. Biden has done quite a bit to appeal to lower income whites. But there is a difference between running against Trump and Romney. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@mattyglesias What is different about saying candidates should embrace positions that poll well? — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
My views on this are colored by the fact that I have worked on campaigns and run for elected office myself. Does anyone who has any campaign experience actually think: Do you know what would help, if campaigns put more of an emphasis on polling? — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
Biden’s platform moved left not because he felt pressure from activity groups but because those policies polled very well! I personally dislike poll-driven politics but it’s the reality in nearly every campaign. — PolitiTweet.org

@TheExperienceD Not populism. Popularism. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
The idea that you can impose this poll-driven message discipline on “activists” is a fantasy, not a strategy. Nor would there be much value in it. Republicans will attribute various extreme views to their opponents no matter what. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
Mystified by the discourse around “popularism” as if that isn’t how the vast majority of Democratic campaigns are already run. Consultants are paid a lot of money to polls a variety of pithy phrases. Candidate then repeats the ones that poll best in ads, direct mail, events. — PolitiTweet.org

"As Ms. Sinema and Mr. Manchin, both Democrats, have drawn fire from the left for their efforts to shrink and reshape Mr. Biden’s proposals, they have won growing financial support from conservative-leaning donors and business executives" https://t.co/gxRMUQlab8 — PolitiTweet.org

@EvanHandler I tried a couple of pharmacy chains and looked into the gov’t sites. This wasn’t arduous. I was just surprised. — PolitiTweet.org

It could be that supply is briefly constrained since booster eligibility just opened up — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
Having not been in the vaccine game myself since April, I figured it would be very easy to book an appointment for a booster. But I couldn't get an appointment until next Wednesday and the pharmacy is pretty far away from my place. Seems like it should be easier. — PolitiTweet.org

About 1/4 of the prison population is in for drug crimes & "[b]lack and white Americans sell and use drugs at similar rates" Blacks are 2.7x more likely to be arrested, & more than 6x more likely to be incarcerated, for drug-related offenses than whites https://t.co/hMOApwHQBj — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
What is the explanation for this disparity that does not involve systemic racism? One explanation could be that Black Americans commit more crimes. The data, however, does not fully support such a conclusion. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
As of 2018, the latest data available, Blacks represented 12% of the general population and 33% of the prison population. Conversely, whites represent 63% of the general population and 30% of the prison population. https://t.co/bNyjuFxY8E — PolitiTweet.org

One thing you'll notice is the leniency and flexibility afforded to people charged with DUI — an extraordinarily dangerous crime that puts the lives of many other people at risk. Coincidentally this is the crime most often committed by white professionals — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
If you don't think there is any racism embedded into the criminal justice system in the United States, I recommend you spend a couple of days observing any criminal court in the country handle routine matters — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@JacobAGeller @jessesingal I also stand behind this tweet. I continue to think Trump should have been more responsible when discussing a political supporter who killed two people at a protest. It is not "misinformation" to omit context about the victims from a November 2021 trial in an August 2020 tweet. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@jessesingal I'll just cut to the chase. You know it's not "inflammatory misinformation." But you made the claim with no factual basis. Then you did a Twitter search of everything I've ever tweeted about the case and this was the best you could come up with. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@jessesingal What, precisely, do you believe is inaccurate about the tweet? I stand behind this tweet and it is 100% accurate. It describes exactly what happened. And what does it have to do with you making an extremely callous joke about an incident where two people lost their life? — PolitiTweet.org

@jessesingal This is my tweet that Jesse claims is "inflammatory misinformation." It is a statement of uncontested facts about the case. https://t.co/MfQy8LEx1v — PolitiTweet.org

@jessesingal Wait. This is "inflammatory misinformation"? This isn't misinformation at all. It's 100% accurate. That's not allowed anymore? — PolitiTweet.org

.@jessesingal deleted this "joke" after I noted it was in poor taste but instead of taking responsibility for it he accused me of spreading "inflammatory misinformation" about Rittenhouse -- something I have never done. — PolitiTweet.org
