I'm genuinely confused how people who write code that lets you algorithmically elongate your eyelashes or whatever sincerely believe they use resources more efficiently than, say, Social Security or the CDC. https://t.co/giXY1Vqif6 — PolitiTweet.org

For 40 years, we've been told government is the problem, the private sector is smarter and more efficient at spending resources, austerity helps people, and the rich must be emancipated to enrich. Now that story is bankrupt, and a new one is taking hold. https://t.co/giXY1V8Hny — PolitiTweet.org

The U.S. federal courts cost about $7 or $8 billion a year. They protect and enable trillions of dollars in global commerce. Which hot new startup is doing more with fewer resources? Making society possible is the ultimate efficiency. We just have been programmed not to see it. — PolitiTweet.org

@AnandWrites @winnerstakeall @BenMFFowler I expect the efficiency of a government spending program is a fraction of what Gates could achieve

I gave a long interview to a marijuana magazine, and felt extraordinary pressure to make up a good drug story, but it came out OK anyway. https://t.co/dcSyr7kGL2 — PolitiTweet.org

Reagan locked us in a political and moral universe -- but also a narrative one. If we are to escape, we will have to find a way to tell different stories. Read the whole essay at The Ink, and sign up to get these posts in your inbox: https://t.co/giXY1V8Hny — PolitiTweet.org

But let's be honest. The long war on government was all-hands-on-deck. Many of us have roles to play in beating back the false narrative that has controlled American reality. We in the media abetted the valorization of what we do alone and demonization of what we do together. https://t.co/XW0mwqGFAI — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
What Biden must do now, I believe, is make a militant case for government that is every bit as emotive and powerful as the forty-year case against, which was so compelling that it persuaded millions of people to vote for their own subjugation. https://t.co/giXY1V8Hny — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
Let's be clear what brought about this moment and this possibility. The relentless agitation of activists and organizers and elected leaders who went unheard in America too long, and were then vindicated by events, especially with the five interlocking crises of the plague year. https://t.co/PRUbFUZkaB — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
If I'm optimistic, it's because I hear Biden beginning to make that case more explicitly than I would have ever expected. "We need to remember, the government isn’t some foreign force in a distant capital," he said recently. "No, it’s us, all of us." https://t.co/giXY1V8Hny — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
This isn't a purely legislative challenge. Think back to Reagan. First there was the argument against government; then there was the dismantling of it. In the coming months, I long to hear an equal and opposite case FOR government. https://t.co/giXY1V8Hny — PolitiTweet.org

@JoeBiden @POTUS This isn't everything I want. It isn't everything you want. It isn't everything we need. But I think we are at risk of missing what a profound departure these priorities are from the last two Democratic administrations. Biden is an unlikely deserter of the war on government. https://t.co/SCCFojRKlh — PolitiTweet.org

THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
But history has a sense of humor. Decades later, @JoeBiden would become @POTUS, and would be dealt a network of problems so deep-rooted, so far-reaching, so long-in-the-making, so gnarled in their intersections, that they provide cover and ammunition to advocate FOR government. — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
A young @JoeBiden voted for some of the 1981 agenda. He wasn't alone among Democratic colleagues. That is how waves work. And not long after, he was candid about what had been lost: "The Reagan tax cuts have ended growth of the social agenda; it’s all come to a screeching halt." — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
In 1981, Ronald Reagan built a new political stadium. There were left and right sides of the field. But everyone played on the turf of the idea that government was regrettable. Today, 40 years later, there is a historic chance to build a new stadium. https://t.co/giXY1V8Hny https://t.co/bZSqet0zv4 — PolitiTweet.org
