RT @AOC: I dunno, if you’re a politician that thinks ending discrimination is “divisive,” you might not want to publicly advertise that — PolitiTweet.org

@digiphile @POTUS @CDCgov I'm not sure where you're coming from here, but I didn't suggest anything. I asked a question about whether we'd want to do something like that, or whether there are good reasons we wouldn't. People are so full of answers these days that they sometimes don't recognize questions. — PolitiTweet.org

@digiphile @POTUS @CDCgov Right -- which was what I started this thread by asking about! — PolitiTweet.org

@TraciLN1164 I'm asking whether there's actually a good reason not to try this in the first place. Why do you interpret this as blaming anyone? Please calm down. — PolitiTweet.org

@digiphile @POTUS @CDCgov Can you book your vaccine appointment end to end on those? That's what I have in mind. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you all for your comments -- they illustrate how complex this is, and how there are no easy answers. I do think, despite it all, this could be the greatest opportunity to change the image of government in a generation. But maybe it's too hard a problem to meet that goal. — PolitiTweet.org

@Minnytrooster yes, fair — PolitiTweet.org

@MapsCats interesting -- thanks for that perspective — PolitiTweet.org

It's awful that Trump didn't do this. But it could be a great opportunity for Biden to show the turned page in practice. One website. Easy to remember. Organizing the chaos. Rebuilding trust in government by doing, not telling. — PolitiTweet.org

THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites

And has Biden proposed such a website? It could still of course be decentralized in practice. Like when you buy from small businesses via Amazon. I'm just wondering why there's not a single tech layer atop it all. — PolitiTweet.org

THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites

Honest question: Is there a reason we don't have, or don't want, a single, unified website for Covid vaccinations, which would organize all the different states/locations under one site, instead of sending you on these wild goose chases? Is there a virtue in decentralization? — PolitiTweet.org

I think I was wrong in retrospect to condemn Sean Spicer for going on "Dancing with the Stars," because it distracted him from the possibility of running a whole state, and this presumably saved millions. — PolitiTweet.org

THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites

Excited for the Sarah Sanders era in Arkansas. Sure, we've had our differences over whether you should enable fascism or not, and whether after doing so you should at most dance with the stars or run a state, but we're united by a shared love of the country she worked to destroy. — PolitiTweet.org
