What in my view is so important and valuable about @DrIbram's work is that he really confronts an unstated, but implicit assumption of much of American policy and discourse: that there is something wrong with black people, except for a few exceptions (Obama.) https://t.co/T9ZtMnvyOS — PolitiTweet.org

There are some Democrats who really want to see Biden do a Sister Souljah on a member of the Squad, Robin Diangelo or at the very least one of the SF school board members. So in that sense, Carville, one of the architects of Clinton's 1992 campaign, is a very apt voice. — PolitiTweet.org

A good model for how a newsroom can be transparent about its values is @19thnews. You can read about their values here. https://t.co/aNNzPDoXi2 This statement gives readers and the people at the 19th a clear sense of what the publication is about. https://t.co/AdLhJVqqTo — PolitiTweet.org

We need 1. some national media that is democracy-defending and open about that 2. other national media that is courting a broad audience and honest about that 3. locally-focused media that is democracy-defending in every state and big market. — PolitiTweet.org
Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr
It seems like programs like Meet the Press want to balance covering the current GOP honestly with booking GOP guests and courting GOP viewers. That is okay---but they should be transparent about that decision and how it might affect coverage. — PolitiTweet.org
Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr
At some point during Trump's presidency, CNN seems to have decided that pushing back against a wannabe autocrat was more important than courting GOP viewers. It would have been great if the network had explained the values behind that decision. — PolitiTweet.org
Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr
The press likes to pretend it has no values. But as @jayrosen_nyu often says, there is no "view from nowhere." And the era of a Trumpian Republican Party calls for more clarity and transparency from the press. https://t.co/JxSHWsx8E0 https://t.co/462pTHLI7z — PolitiTweet.org

@TandenNeera I cannot predict the future. I am not in that business. And the more people who write and participate in politics also leave that project, the better off we all will be. — PolitiTweet.org
Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr
Biden's speech was appropriately alarmist. He literally said that people should be alarmed. But it fell short of three of my hopes---addressing the filibuster, explaining that a voting rights bill will be partisan and divisive and calling out the "talking about racism" bans. https://t.co/QF61MyljtO — PolitiTweet.org
Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr
I promise that Al Sharpton, Sherrilyn Ifill and all us pleading for every step to be taken to address this issue have done the vote counts and read the polls. But none of us knows the future. It's okay to push for the outcomes you want to see, even if the odds are long. — PolitiTweet.org
Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr
I know we in the media (myself included) have trained everyone to be a savvy observer of politics, to count the votes, read the polls, know what is "realistic." But it's okay to be just really alarmed about what is happening to our democracy and want something to be done. — PolitiTweet.org
Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr
Exactly. Maybe there is some super-secret, super-strategic outreach to Manchin and Sinema from the WH that I will read about in a book some day. Maybe Manchin and Simema are the only two politicians on the planet who are truly unaffected by pressure. But I doubt it. — PolitiTweet.org

And also to say, what would McConnell and Trump be doing if two GOP senators were in their way but the rest of the party was on board? Probably not lecturing people about Green Lantern theories. — PolitiTweet.org
Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr
Maybe a voting rights bill will pass. Maybe one won't pass. But all of this is to say that's entirely logical and appropriate for people to push the president hard to push people in his party hard to back things the overwhelming majority of people in the party support. — PolitiTweet.org
Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr
This idea that Manchin and Sinema are not beholden to Dem voters is a bit off. A rough estimate based on the exit polls is that 65 percent of Manchin voters are Biden voters, as are about 90 percent of Sinema voters. Yes, they need swing voters to win, but they need Dems too. — PolitiTweet.org
Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr
And if they vote down the voting rights bill, it will not be easy for them to vote against other major party priorities too. Particularly Sinema, who is very much vulnerable to a primary challenge. — PolitiTweet.org
Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr
I doubt Feinstein, Coons or Warner is willing to do that. Perhaps Manchin and Sinema would. But that would be quite a vote to cast. Which is why ideally Biden and Schumer push the process to an actual vote. Manchin and Sinema should actually have to formally vote down the bill. — PolitiTweet.org
Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr
What does this mean for today? Essentially voting down a filibuster change and thereby blocking a voting rights bill supported by everyone in your party, in a vote that will be super-high-profile, is way different than trash-talking in op-eds. — PolitiTweet.org
