This just sucks. I worked at ThinkProgress for two years and did a lot of work I was really proud of there. At its best, it pushed the boundaries of what was possible in political journalism — as proven by its astonishingly accomplished alumni group. A really terrible loss. — PolitiTweet.org

@jbouie @willwilkinson @RyanDEnos @gelliottmorris I said this on a side threat, but I also think the Native American stuff is uniquely damaging to Warren among voters high in RR given the questions asked in RR surveys — PolitiTweet.org

@willwilkinson @RyanDEnos @gelliottmorris I think Ryan is making a more specific claim grounded in his own work here (https://t.co/WVWkWpOiTd) — PolitiTweet.org

@MattBruenig @gelliottmorris @willwilkinson I mostly agree with this, but racial resentment and hostile sexism are (IMHO) often causal factors in voting patterns, why I’m most interested in them — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@gelliottmorris @willwilkinson Though it’s probably a double-edged sword as this reply points out. Given the questions racial resentment tests ask, I bet people who score highly on them are quite sensitive to the Native American stuff https://t.co/Qb5cvbHaQN — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@melissaasr1 That makes a lot of sense, given what racial resentment scores are picking up on — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@gelliottmorris @willwilkinson That’s the theory I settled on as well — PolitiTweet.org

@CasMudde @tabouchadi @UGA_INTL What did you learn? Sounds fascinating! — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

The most interesting part of this research isn’t the Biden data. It’s that Warren does much worse with racially resentful voters than *Harris* does — PolitiTweet.org

@michaelbd @yeselson Kinda agree with Michael - seems clear he’s sarcastically attacking anti-Semites, not that he’s one of them — PolitiTweet.org

There's a niche for an essay on "Twitter journalists" — writers with ostensibly real jobs who tweet a lot, and are very prominent on here, but whose actual output at their publications is barely read — PolitiTweet.org

In ironic reversal, British democracy is in crisis while Italian democracy is stabilizing https://t.co/irfdOvY1ih https://t.co/chJ1IZJnpH https://t.co/pl7brYQdzr — PolitiTweet.org

"Ignore laws duly passed by the legislature and a vote of no confidence" is like textbook authoritarian power grab in a young democracy, that it's being contemplated in Britain is nothing short of astonishing — PolitiTweet.org

If this were another country we'd call this some kind of coup, right? https://t.co/irfdOvY1ih https://t.co/Eam6ZO7W59 — PolitiTweet.org

@MattZeitlin I guess Steven Pinker is a commie apologist too, huh — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to Twitter, I've read two extremely bad feature-length articles before 10:30 and gotten exactly no actual work done — PolitiTweet.org

The roaches are a metaphor. The roaches are Marc Thiessen. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@MattBruenig @jamescdownie See my other tweet. I don't think it really is, since education/race always pretty much always swamps income when when you do individual level regressions. In any event, I agree it was a close election and lots of stuff (like Clinton being under FBI investigation) mattered — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@jamescdownie @MattBruenig That being said, what that chart really shows (to me) is that education and not income is the key predictor of a surge in GOP support in 2016. Look at the low income, high education part of the graph — more evidence for the "it's culture, not economics" thesis — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@jamescdownie @MattBruenig I mean, it's definitely a long-term analysis. Just look at the title: "Secular Partisan Realignment in the United States: The Socioeconomic Reconfiguration of White Partisan Support since the New Deal Era" — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

I know there's no accountability in political punditry, but it's really striking how many people parroted the politically convenient "economic anxiety" thesis and will never admit they got it badly wrong — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

Nice to see that people are finally catching up to what I've been saying about far-right support since <checks notes> 2016 https://t.co/2tLva7Gllm https://t.co/6yjVAQNjjf https://t.co/5VerpwMpuy — PolitiTweet.org

@AdamSerwer @justinbaragona I was in the room for that speech. If I recall correctly he wasn't warning against immigration but rather was concerned about the demographic consequences of mass graying a la present-day Japan — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@GarrrettHarmon @ne0liberal @ehwilhelm yeah that's probably right, i should have been clearer — PolitiTweet.org
