love to log on and discover we're doing another day of everyone getting absolutely furious over a tweet about beans — PolitiTweet.org

“Did Obama’s China strategy work” is a question that Dem foreign policy ppl haven't really had. Didn’t align with 2016/2020 primary divisions so didn’t come up. But it’s arguably the most important / hardest unresolved FP question facing the Biden admin. — PolitiTweet.org

For me the biggest two open questions are (1) Iran deal renewal; NSC Jake Sullivan is sounding some hawkier, more Clintonian notes than the State Dept picks; (2) China — PolitiTweet.org

Big foreign policy roles for Wendy Sherman, Victoria Nuland, Jon Finer, Amanda Sloat. Extremely Obama 2nd term vibes. Expect lots of multilateralism. Less of the history-bending outreach to adversaries or drone-heavy interventions of Obama term one. https://t.co/SQcgzctF2b — PolitiTweet.org

RT @MicahZenko: This is more shocking in clear intent and criminality than any of the Nixon Tapes. Undeniable seditious conspiracy. — PolitiTweet.org

I read the bean dad thing and thought yeah this is bad, but then I read the viral outrage takes demanding he be sent to prison and his child forcibly orphaned by the state and I thought, what is the point of this ridiculous website — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias Lots on how, when people have access to more info, they use it primarily to find validation of their identities and biases. We like learning too, but it’s rarely our highest cognitive priority — PolitiTweet.org

I think a lot of people watched elements of the right cynically exploit terror attacks to further us-versus-them culture war and took away the lesson "now it's our turn" — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

As someone who spent years writing over + over about the dangers of overhyping terror attacks or blaming them on entire demographic groups, I'm not sure the lesson is that liberals should repeat those same excesses if it means getting to discredit social groups that they dislike — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias Silicon Valley has kind of a parallel arc. Apricots –> WW2-era aircraft and radar –> Cold War aerospace –> semiconductors –> computers –> software –> free-to-use websites that turn viral outrage into 11-figure advertising revenues — PolitiTweet.org

This will get attention (rightly) for debunking notions of college indoctrination, but it’s also a super-interesting lens into how people’s attitudes change: from peer effects, not authority figures. — PolitiTweet.org

@evanchill Probably my biggest complaint was that all the reports about the dialogue being inaudible turned out to be, lamentably, incorrect — PolitiTweet.org

Whatever your politics, there's a good chance that anything you learned about the covid relief bill on this website is false. Which is increasingly true of any topic on here, the viral outrage website — PolitiTweet.org

I sometimes wonder whether things in the US might've gone differently if there had not been such an immediate consensus that China's police-enforced lockdowns were cynical political suppression and that its gains were a WHO-abetted fiction with zero lessons for the US. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

Deep irony & Pyrrhic victory in Senate R opposition to rejoining Iran nuclear deal: looks like they might prevent *formal* US rejoin, but not US & Iran mutually upholding commitments. Result is the old JCPOA, now with significantly less US oversight or leverage. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

State Dept just published its official 1,400-page history of US-Soviet relations 3/85-10/86. It’s incredible reading. Here’s the moment that global nuclear disarmament – a world without nukes – came within inches before slipping away. https://t.co/T5sE1tMleR https://t.co/AgQJw8sGqp — PolitiTweet.org
