@LorenRaeDeJ @maxbergmann It seems like a good plan, but shifting roughly 1% of DOD budget to State does not strike me as "radical" — PolitiTweet.org

Really interesting analysis suggests that, in European multiparty systems, social democrats haven't lost votes to the radical right but rather to Greens and the moderate right https://t.co/3gSQxhOT9P https://t.co/UKx9EW6lJj — PolitiTweet.org

@mcopelov Lotta interesting stuff on this point in a report by @tabouchadi and others. This chart is neat https://t.co/iDROp7arJ6 — PolitiTweet.org

@Max_Fisher @ishaantharoor My experience is that Americans can be easily convinced to care about elections in Britain (for these reasons), Israel (as an extension of US culture/partisan wars), and then...maybe France sometimes, idk — PolitiTweet.org

@ishaantharoor @Max_Fisher I feel like "don't speak the language" and "don't understand how the Bundestag works" are fairly decent reasons for people who, unlike us, don't do this stuff professionally — PolitiTweet.org

@ishaantharoor @Max_Fisher I feel "don't speak the language" and "don't understand how the Bundestag works" are fairly decent reasons for non-professionals — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias It might actually be both, I don't remember offhand. But it's certainly one of the virtues of multiparty democracy that structural shifts in the electorate can be more easily accommodated by political entrepreneurship — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@ishaantharoor Oh yes, I wasn't talking about you! I was pivoting off of your astute point to make another related point — PolitiTweet.org

I think Americans instinctively assume European Greens are the equivalent of US Greens, at best a joke and at worst a right-wing spoiler. But continental Greens are not that — and are arguably best-positioned to benefit from the long-term decline of old-school socdem parties — PolitiTweet.org

@OsitaNwanevu The local stuff is a real problem, absolutely. I tend to think there's a difference in kind and not degree re: the personal immediacy of the policy issues at stake and lack of ideological heft, but it's worth interrogating seriously — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@OsitaNwanevu I agree it's one of those things that's really hard to know exactly, but I think there's very strong evidence that when policy debate is sufficiently abstract partisan cues trump even clear self-interest. At this point that's my prior absent more evidence. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@DanielLarison Oh no, I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope you land on your feet! — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

I do want to add an important caveat: this coalition works decently well for progressives on the national level, but the local level is a different story. NIMBYism is a real problem for progressive politics that can't be papered over. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@OsitaNwanevu I don't really think that's the causal mechanism here — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

This piece builds on and updates previous work from @mattyglesias and @EricLevitz on the economic preferences of college-educated suburbanites. Turns out they really can help push the Democratic party in a progressive direction https://t.co/mNtOmh5uek — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

The causal mechanism for this, at least in the United States, is best outlined in @ChrisPolPsych's book "Open versus Closed." Partisanship is an incredibly powerful psychological force, pushing educated voters to adopt the entire party platform https://t.co/mNtOmh5uek https://t.co/EuZEPuD9Nz — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

Then @sophie_e_hill helped me look at European social democratic parties, who have also become increasingly dependent college-educated voters in recent years. Like the Democratic party, they've also gotten more progressive as their coalition became more upscale https://t.co/drueKTux7S — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

I also spoke with @SeanMcElwee and @davidshor about the key evidence on how college-educated whites actually act at the ballot box. The evidence strongly suggests they're willing to back redistribution https://t.co/5pVCUFvUbB — PolitiTweet.org
