This by @jonathanchait is meant as an argument for nominating Bloomberg, but more fundamentally it's a damning indictment of America's politico-economic model https://t.co/1xCvqjRIH6 https://t.co/QiYegfrGEz — PolitiTweet.org

@WajahatAli That's so wonderful to hear! — PolitiTweet.org

@rmpowers hahaha i'm not subtweeting you! i have so many emails i had to do and i have a terrible mental block about it — PolitiTweet.org

Nothing, and I mean nothing, grinds my productivity to a halt more than when I'm confronted with a need to handle an email backlog — PolitiTweet.org

All these people claiming the Soleimani hit as a win for America — including Trump himself — are getting way ahead of themselves https://t.co/svBRYaUK8L — PolitiTweet.org

Getting NATO more involved in "the Middle East process?" Bragging about the quality of American missiles? Talking about killing Baghdadi, for some reason? — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

So it's good this speech isn't announcing new escalation, but it's also analytically wrong, riddled with factual errors, and in parts just deeply strange — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

All of the bad things Trump is describing here escalated in response to his *withdrawal* from the nuclear deal, not from the deal itself — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

"The foolish Iran nuclear deal was signed in 2013" uhhhhhhhh — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

This, thankfully, is a climb-down speech — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

This is just one of several obvious reasons why trying to declare anyone a "winner" from the Suleimani exchange is incredibly premature — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

Just FYI, it's entirely possible that Iran's next move is rapidly pushing for a nuclear deterrent. They're about a year out from a bomb https://t.co/E9b5L682JX — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@dhnexon Let's not forget: how does this effect Iran's thinking about nuclear breakout? — PolitiTweet.org

Devastating stuff in this @michaelharriot piece on Pete Buttigieg's handling of racism in the South Bend police department https://t.co/Y95T6EXbFc https://t.co/2iv0gnA6KL — PolitiTweet.org

@JedediahSPurdy This is an issue I think about a lot, as my personal politics are probably best described as "radical liberal cosmopolitan." What can be done to expand the sphere of political membership and moral concern in the confines of our particularly fraught version of the nation-state? — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@JedediahSPurdy Non-citizen resident voting in particular is an idea I really wish mainstream Dems would start thinking about, so I'm glad to see it injected in the mainstream — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@JedediahSPurdy Since I criticized a small part of @JedediahSPurdy's piece, I also want to highlight an absolutely fantastic part of his essay (much more closely related to his main point) https://t.co/GNx29HdOt9 — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@JedediahSPurdy Ah, gotcha! That makes sense. And as I said, I find the piece overall really thought provoking — I'm actually thinking of writing something on the special issue. That line just jumped out as me as at odds with the general point. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

This is a very strange line in @JedediahSPurdy's otherwise thoughtful piece on democracy and barbarism. There isn't an "inch" of difference between Canada and Hungary — it's a hundred-mile gulf between democracy and autocracy https://t.co/BhZ03qVKMm https://t.co/GBr2LT9vcn — PolitiTweet.org

No war with Iran. https://t.co/DqLgMCDrwF — PolitiTweet.org

@jamiemartin2 @katforrester It's on my desk! Is there a section that addresses this point specifically? — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

I don't have a ready-made answer to these questions, but it strikes me as vital to pose them in a world where liberalism is under attack — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

I recognize this is partly an ideal theory/non-ideal problem, but it seems a little deeper than that. What relevance can Rawlsian liberalism have in a world of unreasonable citizens? How could the theory be adapted to address this problem? — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

Been reading a lot of Rawls-inspired work on liberalism recently. One thing that stands out in this moment is the pervasive assumption the bulk of politically engaged citizens are reasonable in the Rawlsian sense. Yet this is clearly false now, and may always have been. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

Hilarious — according to this Afghanistan expert, Mike Pompeo just declared a mountain range to be a terrorist group sponsored by Iran — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

RT @MiekeEoyang: Ugh. This is so frustrating. Iran is a state-sponsor of terrorism. Terrorists are non-state actors. State actors that en… — PolitiTweet.org

This is such an obvious point that when someone doesn’t get it you know they’re willfully misunderstanding things — PolitiTweet.org

This is Islamophobia masquerading as national security analysis. Disgraceful. — PolitiTweet.org
