@mgmcquarrie I really haven't, but thanks for reading. — PolitiTweet.org

@ASargusKlein I don't recall this? — PolitiTweet.org

@Locke1689 I don't think this is any more tenable than combating class oppression by pretending that class conflict doesn't exist — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

Anyway, there's quite a bit of acrimony here (again, that I have contributed to) which, when you pull back from Twitter, is very silly. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

But this just makes me a left-liberal (and specifically, a black one whose politics are intimately shaped by that fact). — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

And then there's my posture toward Sanders, who I view as valuable (I voted for him) but also critically flawed. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

Some of this, obviously, is my fault. I have a real distaste for the casual cruelty that defines certain styles of political rhetoric. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

My status as "enemy of the left" seems more based in tribal affiliation than my substantive views (although there is real disagreement). — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

@jsmooth995 Right. I don't know if I could have been more clear than I was? I repeatedly hammered that fact home. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

Through, you know, a politics—movement and electoral—devoted specifically to combatting it. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

I think it is very clear that I am invested in identifying that fact as a means to directly tackle and push against it. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

That I view race hierarchy & the protection of race hierarchy as a fundamental feature of American life and politics is not "anti-politics." — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

In particular, the notion that I advance—or have ever advanced—an "anti-politics" is like, directly belied by my entire career as a writer. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

Right. They are very clearly meant to clarify the reality of what happened, not plot a way forward. https://t.co/Kt7bJ6cUFN — PolitiTweet.org

The omissions and elisions start to add up to a piece that seems to be arguing against a Jamelle Bouie that doesn't quite exist. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

And this I think is a misreading. My description of the center is specifically dependent on its demographic change. https://t.co/XEwyrbaFoL — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

Likewise, this also seems to be an omission. Ignored is what I write in the body of that piece, which is, Haider's… https://t.co/xovDEB2d3X — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

But here is what precedes and follows the quoted paragraph. I think, in those paragraphs, I am directly questioning… https://t.co/7htuBQG1P2 — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

Okay, so here are the omissions. Haider writes. There's a bit of an elision between description and projection here… https://t.co/e60Bg5ueu2 — PolitiTweet.org

Trump, like George Wallace, successfully spoke to race interests and connected them to a kind of class interest (itself tinted by race). — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

And that when the two come into conflict, the race interests take priority. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

US history demonstrates, again and again, that many whites have race interests that are related to but distinct from class ones. — PolitiTweet.org

b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie

I view race and class as deeply entwined identities. And that when the two come into conflict, race often takes priority. — PolitiTweet.org
