Compare the raging debates we had around Build Back Better. We were told we simply could not afford to extend the expanded child tax credit, paid sick leave, universal pre-K, free community college, Medicare coverage for vision/dental, etc All programs that would help people — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
For any program geared toward helping people, we are told that the deficit is out of control and spending needs to be reduced. For the military (and, importantly, military contractors) money is no object. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
One thing that is striking to me is how little energy anyone -- Republicans, Democrats, anyone -- spends in justifying these massive spending increases for the military. It's simply not something that is discussed. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
We talk a lot about how DIVIDED our political system is. But one thing that Democrats and Republicans both consistently support is massive increases in military spending. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
Every budget is a moral choice. The $1.7 trillion budget just passed by Congress devotes TWO-THIRDS of all funding to the military and law enforcement. https://t.co/X6zCjWfYmm https://t.co/MGZNXhHiGM — PolitiTweet.org

@outpaigeous Very proud of my campaign. Knocked 10K doors and got 19670 votes. How many people have voted for you? — PolitiTweet.org

Just spitballing here but maybe if you are CEO OF A LUXURY ELECTRIC VEHICLE COMPANY you shouldn’t buy one of the most powerful communications platforms in the world and use it to troll anyone to the left of Ron DeSantis https://t.co/nrhS9EpfQY — PolitiTweet.org

@HoldsworthJen Your claim is I’ve never worked on a campaign? Maybe improve your research skills — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@CamSullivan @aliemalie @geneva_kropper Sorry to smear you by saying researchers should be paid more and have more resources. Will be more careful next time. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@CamSullivan @aliemalie @geneva_kropper I am listening to you. But if you care about research, perhaps you should take this as an opportunity to advocate for MORE rather than defending the status quo. Have a good night. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@aliemalie @CamSullivan @geneva_kropper He said in these big Senate races there were 4 members of the research staff. I'm saying they need more money, staffing, and respect. A four-person team is criminally small in light of how much money is spent on polling/communications consulting/tv ads — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@CamSullivan @aliemalie @geneva_kropper Yes, researchers are underpaid and there aren't enough opportunities for advancement. You can keep arguing with me but I know you know this is absolutely true. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@CamSullivan @geneva_kropper Yes, researchers are underpaid and there aren't enough avenues for advancement. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@aliemalie @CamSullivan @geneva_kropper Just think about it for a minute. If I BELIEVED research was an entry-level job and only a pathway to press, why would my whole thread be about the need for more resources? — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@aliemalie @CamSullivan @geneva_kropper That is what I wrote. There are people who hold that view about research and I THINK THEY ARE WRONG and more money should be invested in research. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@CamSullivan @geneva_kropper I did no such thing. Go back and read my thread. You misconstrued it and are now digging in. I'm saying researchers should be given MORE resources and MORE respect. Not a difficult concept. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@Ms_Alex_W @dchase I'm saying that's a point of view I DISAGREE WITH. I'm not describing my view. I did political research for a very long time and in many ways I still do it. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@CamSullivan @geneva_kropper Dude. I was saying that is A MISGUIDED PERCEPTION within Democratic political circles. That's not what I believe. I am/was a researcher. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@CamSullivan @geneva_kropper I have hired and mentored dozens, if not hundreds of political researchers. So maybe you should not jump to conclusions about me. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@CamSullivan @geneva_kropper I think it's actually inconsiderate to defend the status quo investment in research and pretend that is supporting researchers. You could use this as an opportunity to advocate for people you purportedly care about. Instead, you are attacking me. That's your choice. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@CamSullivan @geneva_kropper There were several this year where hundreds of millions were spent. In others, tens of millions are spent. A team of four people is describing an investment of well-under 500K. I'm saying campaigns should spend more on research. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@ScotchCam @Rodericka Democrats do not dedicate nearly enough resources to research. That is absolutely my point. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@CamSullivan @geneva_kropper I know the answer. The DSCC spends exponentially more on other campaign functions and I think that is misguided. You apparently think the way to support researchers is to support he status quo. That's your choice. — PolitiTweet.org
