Why is it that the United States is the only country where apps like WhatsApp and Signal aren't common modes of communication? Is it that Americans have less international contact, or maybe lower texting rates? I genuinely don't know. — PolitiTweet.org

@ishaantharoor @AOC See, I think that's not true. About half of the restaurants on this list, for instance, are in NW alone — and I can personally vouch for a lot of them https://t.co/AGIjBF8Auy — PolitiTweet.org

DC natives know this is true, and the rage it's causing among New York partisans is making me so delighted https://t.co/AVPpGmPJau — PolitiTweet.org

@Yascha_Mounk The last option is undertheorized relative to the former two, as it's newer, and often doesn't even show up in the conversation. It depends on the idea that the shift to culture is structural and must be adapted to rather than rolled back. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@Yascha_Mounk Put differently: A consensus is emerging on the broader Western left that class has declined in salience relative to culture, and the right has done a better job taking advantage of this shift. The debate now is between 3 solutions: socialism, moderation, and liberal culture war — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

This from @Yascha_Mounk is undeniable: "The rise of culture as the main cleavage of Western politics helps explain the slow death of social-democratic parties in many countries across the West" https://t.co/u16Bo5i7YJ The key question is what can be done about it. — PolitiTweet.org

Setting aside the UK-US #discourse for a minute, some new research suggests radicals might be well positioned to win here https://t.co/G8mGImgau6 — PolitiTweet.org

What, in your opinion, are the best pieces on the comparisons between the UK election and US politics? Trying to ~explain~ the debate on the extent to which the comparisons are fair and want the best arguments on both sides — PolitiTweet.org

The UK and US share at least one big thing in common: a political geography that makes it easier to sell the right populist fiction that a reactionary minority are the authentic voice of the people — PolitiTweet.org

Just went to go buy wine for an early Hanukkah party. Clerk asked what it was for. When I told him, he responded by taking out a pen and paper and telling me he was going to write me “a little lecture on the good news of Jesus Christ.” — PolitiTweet.org

@CarlBeijer You’re both willfully understanding the claim (what does “silver bullet” mean?) and misconstruing my actual politics (not a Clintonite). This won’t be productive, I think. — PolitiTweet.org

@RocketsRedglar5 It’s a hard question, and I’m not sure what the answer is. Working on a project trying to figure it out — PolitiTweet.org

@CarlBeijer This is a very, very hard argument to make tonight — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

It's very hard to extrapolate from the UK case to the US one directly. But it's now very clear that Corbynism was not a silver bullet to defeat Tory revanchism and nativism, as I argued almost three years ago https://t.co/cpbx83qReH — PolitiTweet.org

If these exit polls hold up, this is a complete fiasco for Labour. Biggest election in modern British history and the party has its worst performance in nearly 100 years. — PolitiTweet.org

@DKThomp @RameshPonnuru Except he and Bernie both are overwhelming winners among among people who *aren't* paying, much more percentage-wise than among people who are. Indicates rivals can make inroads when people pay more attention. — PolitiTweet.org
