If I were the Biden team, I would be so angry that the botched Afghanistan withdrawal hurt his poll numbers seemingly permanently while a very successful Ukraine response hasn’t done anything to restore them — PolitiTweet.org

The boring answer is that, like most people, I dramatically overestimated Russia's military capabilities. The more interesting answer is that I didn't expect the US to come up with such an effective policy response so quickly. — PolitiTweet.org

What did you get wrong about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine?

Extremely unfortunate that one of the world’s most important speech platforms is about to be owned by a man who knows less about the topic than a college freshman who read On Liberty for the first time — PolitiTweet.org

@OlufemiOTaiwo My personal theory is that it's a kind of failure of technocratic thinking. Content moderation feels like the kind of technical problem that you have to deal with at the end of history, a reactionary ideological challenge is outside many people's understanding of politics — PolitiTweet.org

The liberal intellectual class has so much to work with, what with out-and-out authoritarians like Curtis Yarvin, Adrian Vermeule, and Viktor Orbán gaining traction on the right. But for some reason, people are more preoccupied with content moderation. — PolitiTweet.org

@Yair_Rosenberg That's part of the problem, right? The kind of person you're describing holds no real political influence in the Democratic party — a point implicit in your writing on Biden — but they end up having outsized influence on perceptions because of bad tweets that go viral — PolitiTweet.org

Part of this is a failure of imagination by liberal politicians and intellectuals, who are letting difficult edge cases about social media platform rules dominate the "free speech" debate when their opponents are engaging in the most traditional kinds of censorship imaginable — PolitiTweet.org

Lotta people think Elon is going to let Trump back on Twitter. My guess is that helps him in a primary against DeSantis - which he’d probably win anyway - but hurts him in the general by reminding moderates what they hated about his presidency — PolitiTweet.org

@AdamSerwer @jonathanchait Two criticisms that I (and I think Adam) have: 1) Your piece assumes there was an "illiberal left" that held significant power, where there wasn't 2) Overwrought depictions of "wokeness" as an illiberal menace are currently serving to justify far more serious illiberalism — PolitiTweet.org

@jonathanchait As I have argued on here, there are certainly problems in certain left-wing intellectual impulses — like, for example, treating reasonable disagreement on factual or ideological matters as "offensive." But the mere existence of such impulses doesn't make them dominant. — PolitiTweet.org

I find this @jonathanchait take a bit odd. You could just as easily see recent developments as proof that the campus free speech panic of a few years ago was always overwrought, and that the social left's "illiberalism" was always a marginal phenomenon https://t.co/aew7Xp14WY — PolitiTweet.org

@OsitaNwanevu @MattBruenig @JamesSurowiecki @MattZeitlin every take i read now is premised on non-college white support for dems being on a linear decline trajectory, so i'm curious why this point doesn't get more analysis. do people assume it was just noise? purely a "scranton joe" phenomenon? — PolitiTweet.org
