The multimillion dollar campaign to keep Democrat Nina Turner out of the House, punctuated by the No. 3 Democrat in the chamber campaigning against her this weekend, has been a bit much. There's a better way for the Democrats' factions to share power. https://t.co/1eVuDaWMF5 — PolitiTweet.org

If you cover government or elections or currently don't but want to, I would encourage you to apply for this gig @FiveThirtyEight. Great colleagues, great editing, a real focus on producing rigorous, memorable, original work. https://t.co/yD9zhGhQgJ — PolitiTweet.org

The electoralism part of this discussion was a bit frustrating, since Ibram does not work in electoral politics. Sometimes I feel like if the March on Washington happened today, MLK and the other leaders would be asked how the march is affecting Abigail Spanberger's polling. — PolitiTweet.org

We spent years debating if Trump was taking racist actions or saying racist things because he never wore a KKK t-shirt or said "I hate black people" while taking these actions. — PolitiTweet.org

Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr

An outcomes-based view of racial inequality will not explain every disparity and might be hard to implement. But we have a society in which very few people use the N-word or say they would not live near black people that has massive inequality and segregation. https://t.co/gK675QPIWE — PolitiTweet.org

Once we stop looking for cultural deficiencies/achievement failures of black people that might explain why there aren't say many black magazine writers, that eliminates an explanation that blames black people and pushes magazines toward developing and hiring more black writers. — PolitiTweet.org
