My point is that every era will have it's "Ground Zero Mosque controversy" and that people play different roles in a two-party system where there is a lot of surpressed conflict within the two parties. — PolitiTweet.org

If what @davidshor, @mattyglesias, @Lis_Smith, et al are arguing is that it would've been stupid for both party leaders like Reid and progressive members like say @AOC to support the "Ground Zero mosque" b/c it "trashes the party's brand." https://t.co/wapBgWCpQT — PolitiTweet.org

Popularism? https://t.co/wapBgWCpQT — PolitiTweet.org

In a two-party system that collapses the immense diversity of US voters, it seems like this would be absurd, unworkable, and antithetical to the definition of politics -- which is conflict and a struggle for power and representation. Some suppress conflict, others provoke it. — PolitiTweet.org

One question for popularists is if the positions of elected Dems in St. Louis and NYC "dominate" the party's image in swing areas, then is the argument that in 2004-2010 the progressive members shouldn't have taken positions on issues gay marriage, torture, clean energy, etc? — PolitiTweet.org

The irony of Obama's famous "Yes, we can" speech in 2008 is how many of the movements he's citing broke the political norms of their era in order to make real the promises of our democracy. https://t.co/dhSzKJVXQm — PolitiTweet.org

It was winnable if more people got off the sidelines and kept taking risks. It’s the winners of primary challenges to incumbents who often show the most courage once they get to Washington because they’ve personally already fought a full-on assault by corporate wing of the party. — PolitiTweet.org
