PS/ I know my view is controversial. And I’m enough of a realist to know—and I’m using exact math—that between 99.97% and 99.98% of those who disagree with it will never read the PROOF article that details it in full. That’s fine—but doesn’t change that this is a *complex* issue. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
12/ Most Democrats should debate most Republicans. But this new PROOF report considers why *this* Democrat should not debate *this* Republican, and why it’s hypocritical for *this* country’s media to take Hobbs to task for that given *this* country’s news reporting on Kari Lake. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
11/ Should Obama have debated bin Laden? Clearly there’s a *line* somewhere. Media assumes every Democrat should debate any Republican the GOP nominates because—you know—the GOP, uh, exists and stuff. But the GOP also coddles domestic terrorists. So maybe it’s more complicated? — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
10/ And of *course* the NYT and CNN will couch corporate greed in *principled* terms: debates are always democratic and good for America! (Ignore our obsession with ratings and money!) But ask NYT and CNN: are there *any* circumstances in which a debate would be bad for America? — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
9/ The NYT uses deductive reasoning here: debates are the right thing to do, always; therefore we must decode why Hobbs is “afraid” of them (she is subdued, and Lake telegenic! Mystery solved!) But we should be thinking inductively: when, why, and how do debates become warranted? — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
8/ The corporate immorality is clear. Here the NYT calls Lake—an insurrectionist disinformation merchant who threatens national security—a “telegenic” celebrity who merely uses “strident” language. Meanwhile Hobbs is “subdued” (Boo—we want debate ratings!) https://t.co/6DjEB7QA68 — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
7/ What’s happening, rather, is corporate projection. Corporations incapable of acting morally or in the public interest—and that profit off debates—are projecting onto Hobbs their insecurities about being amoral. So of *course* they couch such gaslighting in principled language. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
6/ Anyone who says this issue is about bravery and elevating the importance of debate doesn’t read enough news. Kari Lake crossed the Rubicon on the question of both bravery and open debate months and months ago—there’s no issue or question whatsoever of Hobbs’ bravery or candor. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
5/ That said, there *are* a number of Democratic candidates nationwide who should be refusing to debate their opponents. Again, on objective grounds that have to do with preserving democracy. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
4/ Katie Hobbs is a hero because she has correctly and reasonably assessed *her* situation and *her* race on the basis of reporting about *her* situation and *her* race—she hasn’t issued some public call for everyone, willy-nilly, in every race across America, to forego a debate. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
3/ Don’t mistake me (and please read the article if you want a substantive debate)—this isn’t an argument for no Democrats to debate Republicans. This is an incontrovertible assessment of the immutable fundamentals of *this race* as established by hundreds of major media outlets. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
2/ The reasons no debate should happen in the Arizona gubernatorial race are *objective* reasons established by reliable major-media reporting that has been corroborated over and over and over again. So it is obscene for these same media outlets to now be gaslighting Katie Hobbs. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
1/ The reasons Hobbs should not debate Lake are objective, not subjective. This has nothing to do with courage, a belief in debate, or the fundamentals of who can or is going to win this gubernatorial race in Arizona. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@NestrickThomas She can beat her in a debate and beat her in the election. That is not the subject of this article. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@bbenn68 So something you have not read yet is bad? You understand how debate works about as well as I would expect. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@Conmanswat B*llshit. You are making this an issue of courage when courage has nothing to do with it. And you are speaking of a subjective determination like worthiness when the reason not to debate Lake has to do with *objective* factors. You more than anyone need to read this article. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@jocallag42 I agree that fact-checking has to be brought into debates in real time in some way. This is 2022, not 1922. — PolitiTweet.org

PS3/ Two years ago, some documentary filmmakers with roots in the music industry were making a film about me—which may still come out some day, we’ll see—and I told them honestly in one interview that without question the part of being online I like best is sharing music. By far. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
PS2/ Back when I was a disc jockey, I didn’t have a chance to be eclectic: my show was singularly focused on British/American psychedelia from 1965 to 1972. But I’ve always had eclectic tastes, so the “Goodnight Playlist” lets me remain a disc jockey in a way—but unfettered, now. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
PS/ Track 4 also is the first song in the Playlist series with a trigger warning, though it *may* be (I’m unsure) partly satirical. Either way, an earworm pop-rap song about gun violence to the tune of Pachelbel’s Canon in D major was always going to happen—just a matter of when. — PolitiTweet.org

(HIGHLIGHTS3) By track number: 8⃣ One of the first NSFW tracks in the “Goodnight Playlist”—but try getting the chorus out of your head! 🔟 The most touching song from the perspective of a dead person I’ve ever heard. ✳️ The bonus song: for fans of ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING. — PolitiTweet.org
