As Jeff Bezos pivots from Amazon to philanthropy, remember that he is really just pivoting from one form of unaccountable, capricious, anti-democratic power to another. — PolitiTweet.org

@c726034 Can be either -- but "buy" makes clear that it's not automatic. You still get to choose after renting whether you want to own or not -- useful in this case! — PolitiTweet.org

Full credit to the guy on The Ink video chat just now who read the post and suggested the "rent-to-buy" metaphor. You are brilliant. — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
So many debates boil down to a stalemate between tweaking incrementalism and whole-hog progressive transformation. Is there a way to do modest change that doesn't block big change but whets the appetite for it? Can there be a rent-to-buy progressivism? https://t.co/a1yaUE5KOS — PolitiTweet.org

@vivekster Yeah, maybe you're right. It's something I wonder about a lot. — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
@vivekster Yes, I get it, it makes me uncomfortable, too. Part of my philosophy is that my fellow citizens often have very different, and perhaps wrongheaded, values, and it feels worth making use of them, whatever they are, to do good things. — PolitiTweet.org

@acidmongrel @MemesPatriotism Yes, but there’s a difference between actually starting a war and using war as a metaphor to get people healthcare. — PolitiTweet.org

@RoKhanna @ninaturner And I spoke with @RoKhanna about a progressive American exceptionalism -- the story of how we are struggling now because we are trying something wondrous and difficult. https://t.co/a1yaUEnlGq https://t.co/MAvEOiQZ9c — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
@RoKhanna .@RoKhanna built on an idea that @ninaturner articulated to me last month: progressives need to better distinguish predatory capitalism by the killer whales from the aspiration of entrepreneurship that throbs in millions of regular people's hearts. https://t.co/a1yaUE5KOS https://t.co/BVM1O46ktg — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
@RoKhanna I talked with @RoKhanna about why the progressive message has often failed to connect with Black voters in the South, and what progressives can do better. https://t.co/a1yaUE5KOS https://t.co/I78Jj10PYU — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
@RoKhanna I asked @RoKhanna about the left's reluctance to invoke patriotism, thus ceding it to fascists. "We're so concerned about a thoughtless jingoism, a sense of unreflective patriotism, that we hesitate to put out our own version of patriotism that should be much more reflective." https://t.co/9RNANGEDAO — PolitiTweet.org

I also talked with @RoKhanna about my obsession with using the vaccine rollout to tell a broader story about government. Use the fight against a communicable disease to communicate in defense of the idea of the public good. https://t.co/a1yaUE5KOS https://t.co/NRW883RyBZ — PolitiTweet.org

.@BernieSanders' very smart Covid emergency plan would have been a great example of this. Have Medicare pay for people's care during a crisis, which will whet people's appetite for the main course -- Medicare for All. https://t.co/legltbeiL3 — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
I think this is an incredibly important nuance that gets lost in the debate. There is a kind of incrementalism that is a substitute for real change -- a deflection away from it. But there is another way of using that word: making changes to buy you space to make bigger changes. — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
@RoKhanna @POTUS I asked @RoKhanna whether progressives need a better strategy of building up to sweeping policy changes. For example, should Medicare for All be tried in a few states, so that other states get super jelly? https://t.co/a1yaUE5KOS https://t.co/YIghP2uACW — PolitiTweet.org
