I would make the case for invested in state legislative races primarily by saying that state government matters on its own terms, and secondarily that it's important to build the bench. But in both of those cases you need to win for it to matter. — PolitiTweet.org

None of this is "white data." On the contrary, the issue at hand is whether it makes sense to throw money at candidates in deep red districts that will be full of white people! — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Now maybe this new study is right, but I think @jon_m_rob's doubts about the general plausibility are correct — it would take strong evidence to convince me reverse coattails are important. And @MattGrossmann raised a valid point about the difficulty of showing causation here. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Prior academic research by @dbroockman casts doubt on the idea of reverse coattails. We also pretty clearly see in broad historical terms that states and congressional districts realign at the presidential level first, and the new partisan identity trickles downballot later. https://t.co/ed2A10qK9n — PolitiTweet.org

An analysis that Run for Something paid for says yes — that through reverse-coattails the presence of vigorous campaigns by even doomed challengers helped Biden. https://t.co/XmUYhYdsDP — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats running in hopeless state legislative races were associated with better Biden performance in those areas,… https://t.co/sVKcA8awlI
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Run for Something is an organization with a mission that I admire — trying to recruit and support more progressive challengers for downballot races. That said, some down-ballot races are clearly unwinnable. Is it worth investing in them? — PolitiTweet.org

@mehdirhasan In the post I argue for STV, which I agree is better than a closed list. But I took the comment to be objecting to the fragmented party landscape, which can definitely happen under STV too. — PolitiTweet.org

@_waleedshahid I think you'd see a big right-populist party and a very fragmented landscape of other parties. — PolitiTweet.org

I think a lot of the Austin or Flournoy Discourse during the transition kind of skipped past the actual stakes here. — PolitiTweet.org

Also obviously there's some kind of taboo against collaborating too closely with the Arab parties, which reflects dysfunctional underlying elements of Israeli society that would be challenging for any electoral system. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
From the comments: Israel is widely cited as an example of proportional electoral systems leading to bad outcomes, but I think it's the opposite. https://t.co/7mL2HIQdvf https://t.co/PJrQ62rOA4 — PolitiTweet.org

It's funny to be reminded occasionally that the internet's leading proponent of the welfare state liberalism (dare I say even neoliberalism) is officially a socialist for twitter feud purposes. https://t.co/wJbpisClhc — PolitiTweet.org

Particular kinds of spree killings or potential hate crimes attract national media attention, but the background situation is a substantial increase in shootings which tends to engender even more gun-carrying and more shooting. https://t.co/Ae7kYxQw0d — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
This is broadly right, but we had about 6,000 more homicides in 2020 than we had in 2014 and I don’t think that’s plausibly attributable to a big shift in gun policy. — PolitiTweet.org

More broadly while it’s good for those of us in the industry, Democrats’ preference for communicating with each other through the media rather than talking directly to each other is really weird. — PolitiTweet.org

Peak Democrat is having a years-long high-profile discussion in the national media of court-packing plans that stand no chance of passing. Republicans just sometimes do the packing quickly in state supreme courts when they want to, never publish long takes about it. — PolitiTweet.org
