    It's fine for centrist intellectuals to want to discuss the merits of working with James Eastland & Herman Talmadge. Winning elections is not their job. But Dem politicians who need to win elections in order to help people have different role.https://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/1145334480648986624 …

    To clarify: it's fine progressive intellectuals want to discuss busing. Winning elections is not their job. But Democratic politicians who need to win elections in order to help people have a different role. https://twitter.com/davidfrum/status/1145326048357302273 …

        It's jarring to have studied intra-party politics for this long, be all geared up to observe an intraparty fight among Democrats about reparations, and then realize over the course of a few days that what's happening is an intra-party fight over... busing in the 1970s? 1/

        I feel like there’s an a assumption, which run counter to history, that Democrats will support and vote D no matter who or what, the way Republicans do. So therefore Democrats never need to talk about issues in a way that their base wants or needs to hear, only how non-Ds prefer.

        This dispute is part of the reason we may very well have 4 more years of the monster.

      2. That Fuzzy Bastard‏ @thefuzzybastard 30 Jun 2019

        Close, but not quite. The American public rather likes stories of deals and compromises. American intelligentsia wants stories with morals and heroes- that’s why pundits and intellectuals hate Biden while the public, so far, likes him
