Collins behaved for much of the next three years like someone who had used their "break with the party on a big issue" card. She gave an unusually-fiery speech in defense of Brett Kavanaugh and her vote for him. — PolitiTweet.org

So when they complained about some elements of the tax bill, McConnell basically ignored them, correctly concluding they couldn't vote down the health care bill and the tax bill. — PolitiTweet.org
Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr
Collins, Murkowski and McCain killed the bill. But they also pissed off a lot of people in the party. They weren't going to be able to keep blocking major GOP priorities. — PolitiTweet.org
Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr
When a vote was actually called, very few Senate Republicans (Collins, Murkowski, McCain) were willing to actually vote down a major priority of the party, something its core activists and president were pushing intensely. — PolitiTweet.org
Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr
McConnell kept rewriting and revising the repeal bills, Trump keep publicly demanding the passage of Obamacare repeal. McConnell called a vote on one of the repeal bills, even though it wasn't clear the votes were there. — PolitiTweet.org
Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr
In 2017, Collins, Murkowski and a few other Senate Republicans (Dean Heller) communicated in a thousand different ways that they were wary of repealing Obamacare. — PolitiTweet.org

Exactly. This article was framed negatively, but it reads like lots of people who were hoping to turn their FTC experience into high-paying corporate jobs must do that immediately--because their new boss is going to make them do aggressive investigations of potential employers. — PolitiTweet.org

"Dems will lose unless they don't talk about race at all or do so in ways that are comfortable to me" might be true, but it is often true that a person making this argument also just doesn't like how Dems center more of their politics on race than a decade ago. — PolitiTweet.org
Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr
We talk about "status threat" on the right. But everyone has a sense of status. And whose status would be most threatened if writing to a largely-Dem audience means that you have to understand racial issues and editors are looking for the next Adam Serwer or Nikole-Hannah Jones? — PolitiTweet.org
Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr
Black "moderate" voters and white "moderate" voters aren't the same. And I said this back in 2019. Look at who I thought might appeal to black moderates (Biden) and who might not (Klobuchar.) This is not that complicated. https://t.co/T7KJn9Ila0 — PolitiTweet.org

Do you honestly think that the pundits suggesting that Adams' victory in NYC validates all of their views would have actually voted for Adams? It's fairly obvious they would have backed Garcia. And Garcia and Adams have different coalitions. — PolitiTweet.org

The idea that Cori Bush or 81 million other people need to vet all of their comments constantly for how they appeal to swing voters in Wisconsin is insane. Unless you oppose the merits of what Bush says (electoralism aside) and are looking for a way to silence her. — PolitiTweet.org
Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr
We are getting to the point where certain pundits are all but declaring there are good black people (Clyburn) and bad ones (Cori Bush.) Maybe different people can engage in different tactics? Maybe Cori Bush is electable in the district where she was elected? — PolitiTweet.org
Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr
I don't have polling data to prove this, but my guess is that the black folks who attended the March on Washington in 1963 were more woke and left than those who were at home at that day. Activists tend to be activists-y. Yes. — PolitiTweet.org
Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr
I also would like to note that the "anti-woke" things that Eric Adams, Obama and Clyburn have said are not the only things they have said about racial issues, nor do they speak for all black people. — PolitiTweet.org
Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr
In fact, when I read a piece lamenting Dems for using the term Latinx, I tend to assume that the writer actually disagrees with "woke" views on substantive issues (reparations, systemic racism) but is afraid to say so. — PolitiTweet.org
Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr
Some of these ideas are popular. Some are not. But the racial debate in America is much more about these issues than uses of the terms "Latinx" or "white fragility." — PolitiTweet.org
Perry Bacon Jr. @perrybaconjr
I have no idea what "wokeness" means. But I tried to define some of the big ideas emerging from the left here. https://t.co/YcmOUXiXsv https://t.co/kysqJUpaFZ — PolitiTweet.org
