I think we need to have more vicious partisan debates about the obscure philosophical ideas that I, personally, cared about when I was an undergrad. Someone should start a moral panic about Kantian constructivism or analytical Marxism. — PolitiTweet.org

This is the thing that makes me maddest about the statehood "debate." People treat DC residents as if they don't deserve equal rights because they happen to live near federal government buildings. If you think about it for two seconds, it's indefensible. — PolitiTweet.org

There are a lot of people in DC — a lot of black people, in particular — who live their whole lives in vibrant communities that have nothing to do with the careerist social circles around K Street and Capitol Hill — PolitiTweet.org

The shift from "cancel culture threatens free speech" to "our children must never hear about critical race theory" sure is remarkable — PolitiTweet.org

This thread is one of the sharpest things I’ve read on this topic, perhaps because the author doesn’t have a stake in either side being correct — PolitiTweet.org

Alex, a wonderful co-host and even better friend, is being too kind. He's going to do great work at Politco, but I will miss him dearly as a colleague. And so will pretty much everyone else at Vox — judging from how well-received his delightfully punny Slack presence has been. — PolitiTweet.org

@L0reM @lionel_trolling @DamonLinker @CasMudde To a certain extent, it's something we're all subject to. I'm sure at times I've signal-boosted stuff that wouldn't pass the smell test if I thought about it for more seconds than it took to hit retweet. The test is how thoroughly you embrace the substandard work. — PolitiTweet.org

@DamonLinker @lionel_trolling @CasMudde You too, have a nice drive! — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@lionel_trolling @DamonLinker @CasMudde It's a helpful example in another sense, since Lindsay was initially elevated in part by more serious centrist anti-left thinkers https://t.co/09Z2TMLgo2 — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@DamonLinker @CasMudde Cas thinks yes, you think no. I think that's a reasonable disagreement, with decent arguments on both sides. I liked his piece because I think it was unusually clarifying in how the "yes" argument proceeds. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@mattyglesias @CasMudde Hard to know what you mean absent more specifics, but I see the general structure as "consider the real-world consequences of which ideas you mainly choose to target for criticism" — which seems relatively anodyne? — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@DamonLinker @CasMudde As far as I understand his central argument, it's that center-left critics of CRT should be cautious not to go overboard for fear of doing the ideological work of right-wing extremists. That seems like at base an argument worth taking seriously, no? — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@DamonLinker @CasMudde That doesn't seem like a fair summary of the argument to me — PolitiTweet.org

The interesting question to me is less "why are America's numbers so low" than "what makes USA/France/South Korea/Greece different from the Nordics/Portugal/Germany/Australia" — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

This is an interesting finding, but: 1) The US has basically the same level of media trust as many other advanced democracies, like France and South Korea 2) The partisan numbers suggest that anything unique about the US is explained by the right's decades-old war on media https://t.co/6xLTpLZJvY — PolitiTweet.org

@KevinWGlass @kristoncapps @LauraHayesDC this only makes sense if it's by age rather than generation. like 10 years ago dan's cafe was a millenial bar, kept in business entirely by me personally — PolitiTweet.org

There’s no contradiction here. The second tweet is about a House speech by Nancy Pelosi and has nothing to do with the 60 vote threshold in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org
